Mobile is NOT a Channel - Rob Griffin at IMMAP Summit, 2012Havas Media
Rob Griffin, EVP Product Development at Havas Digital, spoke recently at the IMMAP Summit & emphasised 3 clear takeaways-
1. Mobile is Now, and you must know that. Embrace a Mobile First approach to all marketing and communications efforts.
2. Accept the multiplicity of the device. Mobile devices are consumers' constant companions and central to their daily lives.
3. Activate and Engage! Take full advantage of mobile's greater capabilities to engage in real time.
Instead of thinking about mobile as an advertising channel, it is more important to view it as an access point for consumers- hence the urgent need for everything to be mobile enabled from the start. Mobile Internet user growth is projected to hit 3.5billion in 2015- how are you positioning your brand to take advantage of this revolution?

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 chaning 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.
MTM - 2021 Seminar - Bright Side of Technology - Feb 2021SamuelWarner9
With lockdown shaping much of our experience in 2020 - and having a continued impact into 2021, the role of digital tools and platforms has never been more prominent. As a result, our relationship with technology - how we use it, and how we feel about it (or perhaps more importantly, how it makes us feel) is undergoing a transformation. The same digital platforms and devices we have told ourselves to detox from have become the only means of keeping in touch with others, providing us with endless entertainment and offering us community.
As we kick into 2021, we ask how brands can adapt to these changes, reaching out to displaced, remote consumers and meeting their expectation of a more positive role of tech.

Facebook: Imperial ambitions
Mark Zuckerberg prepares to fight for dominance of the next era of computing
Print edition | Leaders
Apr 9th 2016
NOT since the era of imperial Rome has the “thumbs-up” sign been such a potent and public symbol of power. A mere 12 years after it was founded, Facebook is a great empire with a vast population, immense wealth, a charismatic leader, and mind-boggling reach and influence. The world’s largest social network has 1.6 billion users, a billion of whom use it every day for an average of over 20 minutes each. In the Western world, Facebook accounts for the largest share of the most popular activity (social networking) on the most widely used computing devices (smartphones); its various apps account for 30% of mobile internet use by Americans. And it is the sixth-most-valuable public company on Earth, worth some $325 billion.
Even so, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s 31-year-old founder and chief executive, has even greater ambitions (see article). He has plans to connect the digitally unconnected in poor countries by beaming internet signals from solar-powered drones, and is making big bets on artificial intelligence (AI), “chatbots” and virtual reality (VR). This bid for dominance will bring him into increasing conflict with the other great empires of the technology world, and Google in particular. The ensuing battle will shape the digital future for everyone.
Empires built on data
Facebook has prospered by building compelling services that attract large audiences, whose attention can then be sold to advertisers. The same is true of Google. The two play different roles in their users’ lives: Google has masses of data about the world, whereas Facebook knows about you and your friends; you go to Google to get things done, but turn to Facebook when you have time to kill. Yet their positions of dominance and their strategies are becoming remarkably similar. Unparalleled troves of data make both firms difficult to challenge and immensely profitable, giving them the wealth to make bold bets and to deal with potential competitors by buying them. And both firms crave more users and more data—which, for all the do-gooding rhetoric, explains why they are both so interested in extending internet access in the developing world, using drones or, in Google’s case, giant balloons.
The task is to harness data to offer new ser.

10 trends to watch for 2014: Trends 6 to 10Tracey Keys
Last month, we started our coverage of the 10 Trends to Watch for 2014 by introducing the notion of a “Moore’s Law of Change.” In a world of accelerating and radical changes there will continue to be significant opportunities for leaders, organizations and individuals that approach change with an open mind, an informed point of view and a readiness to take action today to prepare for the future.
So where should leaders look today for these changes? In our forthcoming Global Trends Report 2014, The Fieldbook, we highlight 10 trends that business leaders need to focus on today. In this December 2013 briefing we highlight our last five trends for 2014 - trends 6 to 10.

Introduction
The next wave of digital transformations
The more digital networking takes hold of all aspects of our lives and all types of commercial transactions, the more it becomes a fundamental part of our daily reality – a changed reality, in which future generations will not be able to understand how it was possible to live with 'stupid things' that weren't permanently linked to the Cloud, nor how we managed to survive without goggles and information-forecasting services.
If, in a few years, we have become used to the constant availability of information about people, situations and things in our immediate surroundings thanks to technology about our person – so-called wearables, and if it has become the norm for intelligent products, houses and vehicles to 'recognise' us and to use networked services to cooperate and anticipate our requirements, then a world in which these magic properties are lacking will soon seem very strange to us.
Connected reality will set new parameters for businesses
Thus, value is increasingly being created in networks through the use of hyperconnectivity. The importance of individual companies is disappearing: connected reality means the key players will actually be 'business economic systems'. Manufacturers and service providers will offer complex solutions to customers' requirements, e.g. the use of wearable sensors in the field of smart health, providing cloud-based data analysis, medical diagnosis and nutritional advice that will make it possible for health to be monitored intensively in real time.
This creates a multitude of new challenges for businesses. Products that can be networked will generate a continuous stream of data, and new ways of creating value based on that data will have to be developed in order to generate added value from the data. Customer relations will come to be characterised more and more by real-time interaction. Increasingly, products and services will need to be developed and marketed as hybrid bundles. It will be necessary to open up the potential for smart automatisation along the entire value-creation chain.
Yet, as the pace of change becomes greater, the more important it becomes to evaluate the various trends and future developments in the round in order to gain sight of the big picture. This overview can then be used to guide strategic focus. This study represents a first step along this path.

Emerging Technologies- Making Great Things PossibleCSM Technologies
Technology is ever-changing, spurring organizations to challenge their status quo. Agile organizations are making a quick switch to digital technologies. In fact, this agility was felt more after the Covid pandemic struck the world. The road to digital transformation has paced up. What would have taken years is happening in months! And Emerging Technologies are the prime movers of this transformation. It’s not only the workplace cultures that are attuning to this change but also the approach by companies in engaging customers.
At CSM Technologies, we have internalized digital transformation. What’s more, we are constantly innovating to upgrade our solutions with Emerging Technologies. There’s a slice of Emerging Tech in every solution that we create and onboard for our customers. We are proud to create thriving ecosystems for niche technologies with ample scope for replication across geographies.

Metaverse is a term used to describe a collective virtual shared space that allows users to interact with a computer-generated environment and each other in real-time. It is an advanced form of virtual reality that goes beyond individual experiences and enables a shared immersive experience that mimics real-world environments and social interactions. Metaverse technology has been gaining popularity in recent years and is expected to be a key component of the next generation of the internet.
The concept of the metaverse originated in science fiction literature and has since evolved into a reality, with various companies developing platforms and technologies to create a virtual shared space. Metaverse environments can be created using virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) technologies, allowing users to experience a fully immersive environment or a hybrid of the real and virtual world.
Metaverse applications can be used in a variety of industries, including gaming, education, social media, and e-commerce. In gaming, metaverse environments allow players to interact with each other and explore complex virtual worlds with advanced artificial intelligence and physics engines. In education, metaverse technology can create immersive learning experiences, allowing students to explore historical events or scientific concepts. In social media, metaverse technology can create virtual social spaces where users can interact with each other in a variety of settings. In e-commerce, metaverse technology can be used to create virtual storefronts, allowing customers to browse and purchase products in a fully immersive environment.
As technology continues to evolve, the metaverse is expected to become an increasingly important part of the way we interact with each other and the world around us. It has the potential to create entirely new industries and change the way we work, learn, and socialize. However, there are also concerns about the impact of metaverse technology on privacy, security, and societal norms. As the metaverse continues to develop, it will be important to address these concerns and ensure that this technology is used in a way that benefits society as a whole.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

While Elon Musk strives to dream big into the future, his companies continually
face scrutiny and often encounter setbacks in overturning the status quo.
Samsung and the Note 7 is also an example of how there are challenges in our
attempts to push technology towards the future. There are many uncertainties
and adversities when it comes to forecasting the advancement of the digital
world and its impact in our daily life. But, as the world becomes inundated with
technology, there are many opportunities that arise and business people
should stay alert and ready to jump in.
