A new study shows that while 48% of consumers feel “excited” about the future of tech, 40% fear that emerging technology will introduce as many new problems as solutions. This finding comes from Intel’s “Next 50” Study of 1,000 consumers, conducted with research firm PSB, to determine prevailing perceptions about the future of technology.
•Consumers see the familiar when they look far into the future. Over 80 percent report believing that smartphones and PCs will continue to be important in 50 years.
•Consumers are split on whether technology will bring them closer together or further apart from friends and family.
•Consumers have mixed views of artificial intelligence in the future, and over one-third don’t believe they use AI today.

ELH School Tech 2013 - Computational ThinkingPaul Herring
To be good ‘Computational Thinkers’ and hence effective users of, and more importantly empowered creators with Digital Technologies, students need to be conversant and articulate with:
algorithms;
cryptography;
machine intelligence;
computational biology;
search;
recursion;
heuristics;
Entrepreneurial enabling, and
The use of Digital Technologies to develop and support Critical Thinking skills.
While schools have taught many of these areas in the past, opportunities are now being presented where schools can fully embrace those areas traditionally part of a Computer Science type course, but also introduce the fascinating new areas of endeavor such as cryptography and computational biology.
Coupled with the increasing enabling of application development and deployment by Senior School students, such as in the creation and deployment of mobile games using Corona and Lua for example, students are able to be powerfully enabled as creative producers, not just passive users.
The presentation will give an overview of these areas of Computational Thinking and some outline of how they might be implemented in the curriculum, including current examples from senior IT classes in Queensland who are creating digital apps for Android devices.
This presentation will cover some of the ground from my ACEC 2012 talk on this topic (see SlideCast at this link: http://www.slideshare.net/StrategicITbyPFH/computational-thinking-14629222), but expand in a number of areas, in particular some specific suggestions regarding classroom implementation.
In 2013, Telefónica carried out the largest ever survey of Millennials, creating a new understanding of the beliefs and motivations of the Millennials generation. In 2014, the survey was updated exploring the opinions of 6,702 Millennials, aged 18-30 across 18 countries in three regions.
This year’s survey found that today’s 18-30 year-olds are largely satisfied with their lives and decidedly optimistic about their prospects for the future.
It is little surprise that 78% of Millennials globally claim to own a smartphone. However, we see in this section that not all Millennials are driven by technology – it is merely an enabler to achieve their goals.

NASA Spinoffs Help Fight Coronavirus, Clean Pollution, Grow Food, MoreDESMOND YUEN
NASA's mission of exploration requires new technologies, software, and research – which show up in daily life. The agency’s Spinoff 2022 publication tells the stories of companies, start-ups, and entrepreneurs transforming these innovations into cutting-edge products and services that boost the economy, protect the planet, and save lives.
“The value of NASA is not confined to the cosmos but realized throughout our country – from hundreds of thousands of well-paying jobs to world-leading climate science, understanding the universe and our place within it, to technology transfers that make life easier for folks around the world,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said. “As we combat the coronavirus pandemic and promote environmental justice and sustainability, NASA technology is essential to address humanity’s greatest challenges.”
Spinoff 2022 features more than 45 companies using NASA technology to advance manufacturing techniques, detoxify polluted soil, improve weather forecasting, and even clean the air to slow the spread of viruses, including coronavirus.
"NASA's technology portfolio contains many innovations that not only enable exploration but also address challenges and improve life here at home," said Jim Reuter, associate administrator of the agency’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) in Washington. "We’ve captured these examples of successful commercialization of NASA technology and research, not only to share the benefits of the space program with the public, but to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs."

A Survey on Security and Privacy Issues in Edge Computing-Assisted Internet o...DESMOND YUEN
Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovative paradigm
envisioned to provide massive applications that are now part of
our daily lives. Millions of smart devices are deployed within
complex networks to provide vibrant functionalities including
communications, monitoring, and controlling of critical infrastructures. However, this massive growth of IoT devices and the corresponding huge data traffic generated at the edge of the network created additional burdens on the state-of-the-art
centralized cloud computing paradigm due to the bandwidth and
resources scarcity. Hence, edge computing (EC) is emerging as
an innovative strategy that brings data processing and storage
near to the end users, leading to what is called EC-assisted IoT.
Although this paradigm provides unique features and enhanced
quality of service (QoS), it also introduces huge risks in data security and privacy aspects. This paper conducts a comprehensive survey on security and privacy issues in the context of EC-assisted IoT. In particular, we first present an overview of EC-assisted IoT including definitions, applications, architecture, advantages, and challenges. Second, we define security and privacy in the context of EC-assisted IoT. Then, we extensively discuss the major classifications of attacks in EC-assisted IoT and provide possible solutions and countermeasures along with the related research efforts. After that, we further classify some security and privacy issues as discussed in the literature based on security services and based on security objectives and functions. Finally, several open challenges and future research directions for secure EC-assisted IoT paradigm are also extensively provided.

Five companies—Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telecom Italia, Telefónica, and Vodafone—published a report outlining why they feel Europe as a whole is lagging behind other regions such as the U.S. and Japan in developing Open RAN. The companies point to both a lack of companies developing key components, notably silicon chips, for Open RAN technologies, as well as the need to get incumbent equipment vendors Ericsson and Nokia on board with Open RAN development.
An Introduction to Semiconductors and IntelDESMOND YUEN
Did you know that...
The average American adult spends over 12 hours a day engaged with electronics — computers, mobile devices, TVs, cars, to name just a few — powered by semiconductors.
A common chip the size of your smallest fingernail is only about 1-millimeter thick but contains roughly 30 different layers of components and wires (called interconnects) that make up its complex circuitry.
Intel owns nearly 70,000 active patents worldwide. Its first — “Resistor for Integrated Circuit,” #3,631,313 — was granted to Gordon Moore on Dec. 28, 1971.
Those are a few fun facts in a high-level presentation that provides an easy-to-understand look at the world of semiconductors, why they matter and the role Intel plays in their creation.
Changing demographics and economic growth bloomDESMOND YUEN
Demography is destiny” is an oft-cited phrase that suggests the size, growth, and structure of a nation’s population deter mines its long-term social, economic, andpolitical fabric. The phrase highlights the role of
demographics in shaping many complex challenges
and opportunities societies face, including several
pertinent to economic growth and development.
Nevertheless, it is an overstatement to say that
demography determines all, as it downplays the
fact that both demographic trajectories and their
development implications are responsive to economic
incentives; to policy and institutional reforms; and to
changes in technology, cultural norms, and behavior.
The world is undergoing a major demographic
upheaval with three key components: population
growth, changes in fertility and mortality, and
associated changes in population age structure.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
