This document summarizes the evolution of technology in the workplace over time and how predictions about new technologies often proved inaccurate. It discusses the introduction of desktop computers, the internet, instant messaging, mobile phones, social networks, and mobile messaging. While these technologies were initially dismissed by some, they went on to see widespread adoption in both personal and professional use. The document advocates giving new workplace technologies an open mind before dismissing them.

Before we look to the future of technology, we must examine the past.
1983: Apple Lisa
The first commercial computer with a graphical user interface (GUI) — the advance that would finally make computers usable by people with no special training. The name was the acronym for “Local Integrated Software Architecture” and possibly the daughter of someone on the development team (Steve Jobs). The computer was $10,000 and only sold 10,000 of them.
1993: Polaroid, Powerbook and pagers
JVC Video Camcorder, Apple PowerBook 160, Polaroid OneStep, Sony Sports Walkman cassette player and a pager.
2003: The iTunes Music Store was launched.
At the time, “For every 99 cents Apple gets from your credit card, 65 cents goes straight to the music label. Another quarter or so gets eaten up by distribution costs. At most, Jobs is left with a dime per track, so even $500 million in annual sales would add up to a paltry $50 million profit. Why even bother? "Because we're selling iPods," Jobs says, grinning.”

However, there are some clear signs that can tell us what are the next big industries. We are now in the digital age and real time software is causing dramatic transformation of industries.
In this lecture we look at nine important trends that you need to know about.
Manlike machines have fascinated humans since ancient times. The modern robots start to take shape with the industrial revolution. In the 20th century robots were mostly industrial machines you would see in factories, like car factories.
Today, robots can have sensors, vision, they can hear and understand. They can connect to the cloud for more information. However, we are still in the early stages of robotics and robots will need to go a long way to become useful as a ubiquitous general purpose devices.
The smartphone has completely changed how people communicate, collaborate, discover, shop and do all sorts of things. This always-on device is in order of magnitude more powerful than the biggest computers in the 60s and now we carry it with us wherever we go. Smartphones combined with cloud technologies and real-time algorithms, are moving us to a transformation phase as software algorithms will transform traditional businesses be it in retail, banking, construction, education and so on. We are entering times of great disruption.

The developments in technology as without it we wouldn’t be here.
Even if you think back to a decade ago, technology has radically changed. We now all carry around smart phones in our pockets that have instant access to the internet, cameras, calculators, and pretty much any piece of technology we might need on-the-go. In the past, we didn't have it so simple, even though we thought we were innovative at the time. My, how everything has changed.
Over a billion and a half people signed up for Facebook. This site the most used site for people when using the Internet. People are not watching TV so much anymore - they using Facebook, Youtube and Netflix and number of popular web sites.
Some people denote their time working for others online. What drives people to write an article on Wikipedia? They don´t get paid. Companies are enlisting people to help with innovations and sites such as Galaxy Zoo ask people to help identifying images. And why do people have to film themselves singing when they cannot sing and post the video on Youtube?
In this lecture we talk about how people are using the web to interact in new ways, and doing stuff.

The news is filled with stories of companies promising to “disrupt” this technology or that market. Growing trends such as mobile, apps, BYOD, open source, MOOCs, Vine-video, Social TV, 'big data,' compete for our attention and understanding. Microsoft is finally in the cloud, YouTube adds 100 hours of video per minute, Google is making devices like 'Glass,' Twitter is truly revolutionary, and Facebook may be competing with them all. Yet some of the biggest social impacts are due to much lower technologies such as sms mapping, micro-payments, mobile health.

Chapter 66.1 Changes, Fears, and QuestionsComputers free u.docxtidwellveronique
Chapter : 6
6.1 Changes, Fears, and Questions
Computers free us from the repetitious, boring aspects of jobs so that we can spend more time being creative and doing the tasks that require human intelligence. Computer systems and the Internet provide quick, reliable access to information so that we work smarter and more efficiently. But people still do the work. Nurses care for the elderly, and construction workers build buildings. Architects use computer-aided design systems, but they still design buildings. Accountants use spreadsheets and thus have more time for thinking, planning, and analysis. But will computers design buildings? Will audits be automated?
The introduction of computers into the workplace generated many fears. Many social critics, social scientists, politicians, unions, and activists saw virtually all potential effects of computers on work as highly threatening. They foresaw mass unemployment due to increased efficiency. (Some argued, at first, that money spent on computers was a waste because computers decreasedefficiency.) They argued that requiring workers to acquire computer skills was too heavy a burden, and that the need for increased technical training and skills would widen the earning gap between those who obtain the new skills and those who do not. They saw telecommuting as bad for workers and society. They expected offshoring (hiring people or companies in other countries to perform services that workers in one’s home country used to do) to eliminate a huge number of jobs.
Although the dire predictions were wrong, the many and widespread rapid changes raise significant social questions. How do we deal with the dislocations and retraining needs that result when computing technology and the Internet eliminate jobs? “Telecommuting” has become part of our vocabulary, describing the phenomenon of working at a distance from the traditional company office or factory, connected in cyberspace. What are its advantages and disadvantages? How does it affect the physical distribution of population and businesses? Employees have powerful smartphones, tablets, and other devices that can make their work easier. Should they use their own devices for work? What risks need to be considered?
At the same time that information technology gives some workers more autonomy, it gives employers increased power to monitor the work, communications, movements, and online activity of employees and to observe what their employees do away from work (e.g., in social media). These changes affect productivity, privacy, and morale. Why do employers monitor employees? Should monitoring be limited?
In this chapter, we explore these questions.

5 Reasons Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In T...iBridge Hub
5 REASONS our Children are about to miss out on the Greatest opportunity in the world.
This presentation was inspired by code.org, codeacademy.org. It highlights why we all should learn to code and the benefits of coding in this 21st Century and beyond.
At any given moment it is easy to look back to see how technology has changed over time. At the same time it is difficult to see what transformations are taking place in current moment, and even more difficult to see where things are going.
We will explore what technology is. For us it may be the latest tech stuff we see, something new. But what about everyday objects that we take for granted. Are those not technologies also?
How does technology evolve and where did it come from? We look at some ideas on evolution of technology and how it is similar to biology in some ways. We will also look at the origin of the word technology. Finally we will define the term we will use in the course. Terms defined are technology, product performance, and innovation to name few.
An overview of how mobile is changing the world, how it's changing societal behavior and how brands must change in order to stay relevant and increase ROI.
Les sciences et le langage sont les principaux facteurs qui alimentent les mécanismes de la transformation précipitée de nos vies privées et sociales. C’est la poésie et la philosophie qui en donneront un sens.
La nouveauté est bien en soi. Il y a une certaine fascination aujourd’hui pour les progrès technologiques. Jusqu’à très récemment, le rythme de ces évolutions s’est soudainement accéléré, projetant de la science-fiction dans notre quotidien. Or on se focalise plutôt sur le mouvement d’un changement que sur son objectif final. Être mobile, s’adapter toujours, innover encore, changer plus vite, sont devenues les principes de notre conscience occidentale, notre nouvelle religion. Il importe alors de s’interroger sur l’intérêt de la transformation de nos organisations afin d’y donner un sens.
Dans ce premier document, j’essaie de comprendre à travers le prisme des entreprises, les origines de cette transformation dont le numérique et la mondialisation ont fortement contribués. Puis, je propose une approche pour sa prise en main. Être un acteur de sa propre évolution dans ce tourbillon d’innovations est un premier pas pour habiter ce monde et mettre l’humanité au cœur de nos activités.
Smart cities: how computers are changing our world for the betterRoberto Siagri
Introduction
The world is flat, hot and crowded, as Thomas Friedman says in his last book. Luckily, we can also say that it is getting more and more intelligent. Our world is increasingly interconnected and increasingly able to talk to us: people, systems and objects can communicate and interact with one another in completely new ways. Now we have the means to measure, hear and see instantaneously the state of all things. When all things, including processes and working methods, are intelligent, we will be able to respond to changing conditions with more speed and more focus, and make more precise forecasting which in turn will lead to optimization of future events. This ongoing transformation has given birth to the concept of Smart Cities, cities that are able to take action and improve the quality of life of their inhabitants, reconciling it with the needs of trades, factories, service industries and institutions by means of an innovative and pervasive use of digital technologies.
History has many examples of powerful companies that seem to be unbeatable. Then in a short time they become irrelevant due to new companies with new ideas. One of the factors in such transformation is technology. Never in history has technological change been so important in building and destroying companies.
We look at few examples of successful companies that fail to address the changing times and become disrupted. We also look at why technology emerges when it does and why some ideas can only be realised when certain conditions are met.
In this first lecture we set the tone for the course and define the themes that we will be looking at.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
