Describe some effects that cybertechnology has had so far for our se.pdfcalderoncasto9163
Describe some effects that cybertechnology has had so far for our sense of self. Questions to
think about as you write: In the age of information how are we beginning to conceive ourselves
in relation to nature? How is cybertechnology changing the way he view ourselves and others?
Does cybertechnology bring us closer together or create a rift? Are humans becoming more
computer-like? How?
MUST BE AT LEAST 300 WORDS IN TOTAL.
Solution
Information technologies are in a stable level of change and break-through.We can see that
information technologies have brought great social changes compared to the past years before
they appeared.In the past days of disconnect,we plugged into each other\'s nervous system by
passing our books,on discussions with others and by sharing our thoughts and dreams.But
connectedness made one become others databases snd servers learning on eachother\'s
memories.The expanded technology increased the lenghts of people\'s thoughts with this
increasing world.It brought people\'s imaginations and thoughts into existence.
The effects of technology has to do with whether humans desire greater simplicity or complexity
as they progress. Many technology creators acclaim the value of convergence. While that might
severely reduce the number of ‘devices’ that we need and use, it also adds complexity to the task
of using a device.Alternately, people have written about how we desire purity, and will therefore
look for technologies that will do one thing, and do it extremely well. The challenge before
technology innovators, clearly, is to enable technologies to communicate with each other, and
sort problems out, the way humans do.Technology will enable diverse cultures to collaborate
more efficiently, in every sphere. It will bring people and organizations together, closer.
Technology will allow people to live multiple lives, assume and live out multiple
identities.Every day, as millions of people interact over the internet, they navigate worlds that are
simulated, they create virtual personalities, and forge online relationships. Fantasy and role-play,
both natural and important functions of child development, are fostered by adult chatrooms and
virtual reality. In a distributed, yet isolated world, people desire connections. In doing so, they
think not of identity but identity crises.
Technological world is a brilliant opportunity for global connections and it gives the exprience of
leading different lives and cultures.We must believe that internet brings us together as without
internet it is not so easy to communicate with eachother.But on the other hand, it does have some
negative effects on people, tearing them apart in way of face to face communication making such
relations undervalued.
Computers, or operating systems to be exact, are lacking in the the fundamental capabilities
possessed by all sentient systems: the ability to reason, to learn from observation and experience,
to grow intelectually over time. As of today, computers .

From Telephone to Tweetup: an abbreviated history of technology and social exchange
The invention of the telephone ushered in an era of ‘on-demand’ social connection. These conversations were freeing, but were still limited to location and time. As communication technology matured, telephones became detached from their cords and were allowed to travel with their users. This detachment from location allowed conversation to happen in more times and more places.
As the amount of time and space between nodes of connection decreased, the intersection of rapid news methods such as blogging, mobile technology, and chatrooms begin to merge. This convergence allowed dramatic increases in the ability to rapidly convey information to others. Instead of engaging with one person at a time, many are now capable of talking at once. No where is this more prevalent than on Twitter. It has found ways to connect communities, stave off suburban isolation, and warn of earthquakes before medical help can access them.
The distance between individual and community will continue to decrease, and those products and services which decrease the amount of time and space it takes to create an action will be the most successful. Actions and devices will become lighter and lighter, and the social will continue to become more and more mobile. The convergence of various technologies will result in rapid learning and communication never imagined before.

Original title: Technology Transforming Media, Transforming Us.
This is a Keynote (the app) talk I gave at Webvisions' 2013 NYC Conference in March. It's my perspective on mass communication/media from the Stone Age to today.
It is not easy to explain the concepts behind community networks, both the technical characteristics of radio frequency networks and the social and human aspects of community technologies.
One of the principles we have developed in teaching technologies with a gendered perspective is language. Teaching a workshop for popular groups using colonizing terms and methodologies can increase the existing barrier between people and a technology that was not created for their interests.
With this in mind, images and analogies are powerful tools to make it easier to explain a technical term or an idea. We reject the premise that to do so would in any way underestimate people’s ability to understand technical matters. We believe that explaining concepts in a language that brings them closer to people and their realities is a form of resistance to the hegemonic, americanized, and patriarchal language in which technology is often taught.
This material is a partnership between Brazilian women, technologists and artists, with the collaboration of people working with community networks in various countries. Its purpose is to illustrate some of these images by blending technical terms such as 'line of sight' and 'mesh topology' with reflections on why we make community networks and the often invisible role of women within these initiatives.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*
IoT Concept
1. Human need to connect with each other existed as long as we existed
2. We even developed vocal skills and languages to talk to each other, literally
evolving our physical beings to satisfy this need. Communication is that deep
of a need indeed.
3. Then we wanted to communicate even when distant.
And communication technologies were born…
4. For hundreds of years, we kept wanting to reach each other from afar.
First we wrote, then we spoke to each other, from farther and farther.
Today, we can even send and receive images and video, in real time too…
Now What? What’s Next?
5. Machines helped us with work and personal lives.
Let us tell you a little bit about machines and technology
11. We are no longer just our body when we integrate into all this technology so intimately.
Our communication is no longer via simple physical methods.
Therefore, while it’s a little hard to grasp…
12. Our communication,
our useful and deep need of connection,
exchange of information,
is no longer just between physical body human beings.
13. The new ME (you) = Machines + Electronics + … + Physical Body
That is what they mean when they say,
Internet of Things (IoT)
Or Internet of Everything (IoE)
14. Welcome to a new world where everything is
connected and communicating dynamically…
