This document discusses the characteristics of the "Net Generation" or "Digital Natives" who are comfortable using technology. While often seen as technologically savvy, their skills are rarely questioned critically. Younger generations may be frequent users of technology but their use is not always productive. The document goes on to discuss digital culture, ubiquitous computing, and questions around whether digital culture is taken for granted regarding education and privacy issues, whether innovations are fully exploited for productivity, and the relationship between digital culture and ubiquitous computing with the proliferation of devices.
Summer 2010 I prepared a presentation for a company about current technological trends, which were divided into four:
1. Media on the digital age
2. Creativity equals entrepreneurship
3. The internet of things
4. Atoms are the new bits
Most of them are still valid today.
Mindful or Mind Full? Mindfulness and its application in the 1to1 classroom ...jameswhitTL
Workshop presented at ACCE2016 30/9/2016
Abstract
As personal computers become ubiquitous in the classroom, there is a growing concern amongst many teachers and the wider community about the potential for these technologies to cause distraction. Proponents of this view recommend limiting or removing technology from classrooms as a panacea for distracted, unhappy and disengaged students. Conversely, those in favour of technology in the classroom cite a range of applications and strategies that can lead to greater student engagement and focus.
This paper summaries the current research into distraction and attention in the technology and education literature. It argues that attention management is a neglected, but foundational skill that underpins all efforts to use technology in schools. Mindfulness, an ancient approach which has been recently garnered support from the scientific community, is offered as a possible approach to increase focused attention. It outlines the early stages of an initiative in a high school 1:1 classroom to increase focused attention with mindfulness. It reports on some early results that indicate mindfulness has some merit as a method to curb the distracting influence of technology and to increase its positive effects.
Finally, various approaches to increasing students' mindful use of technology are outlined. These range from short classroom interventions and teaching strategies, to excursions and "incursions". Recommendations are made as to the most effective techniques and those easiest to implement for educators not familiar with the application of mindfulness in the classroom.

' Digital Technology and Disability in Australian Social Life', paper for The Australian Sociological Association (TASA) conference, 25-27 November 2014, UniSA, Adelaide
We live in the digital age where everything is touched and connected by technology. The invisibility of digital technology has produced a distinctively new generation defined by digital media the digital natives. Digital natives are people who have grown up using technology from early childhood. They are the new citizens of the digital world. It is difficult to predict the exact impact of the technologies on digital natives. However, emerging technologies are poised to transform digital natives shortly. Matthew N. O.

The problem with ‘digital generation’: A study of adult digital content creators
Karl Mannheim (1952 [1928]) wrote about problems associated with use of the term ‘generation’. He argued that generational consciousness within a generation is not necessarily homogeneous or coherent, as there will be divergent views and practices within any group. Indeed one of the main criticisms arising from comparisons and differentiation between people in pre-defined generational groups is that standardised assumptions and pre-conceptions are made about how they behave and their ability to learn. This is particularly problematic in the digital era when use of the terms ‘digital generation’ and ‘net generation’ (Tapscott, 2008) are used for the categorisation of age delineation (Buckingham, 2006).
This research investigates 36 UK adults using digital technology as they participate in the practices of content creation, distribution and sharing online as a form of vernacular creativity. It views participants not as members of a pre-defined generation, but as individuals within an age range. Consequently, generational preconceptions were suspended in favour of an approach linked to the modes of communication and technologies available and familiar to them in their early life and to their own personal circumstances and backgrounds. Research revealed that adopting digital technologies acted as enablers in facilitating the unlocking of suppressed behaviour and creative desires across the age spectrum. In addition the research findings offer a nuanced set of conclusions where both commonly held actions of purpose and age related circumstances are important. These are alternative to the over-simplistic and sometimes polemical perception that the so-called ‘digital generation’ are more digitally adept and literate than older internet users.

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!
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

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.

• This new generation has been positively characterized as the „Net
generation‟ (Tapscott, 1998) or „Digital natives‟ (Prensky, 2001) or even
„Millennials‟ (Howe and Strauss, 2000) due to their often-unquestioned
proficiency in accessing and using technology and new media.
• However these positive images of young people being technologically savvy
have rarely been questioned (Bennett et. al. 2008).
To a certain extent, they have been taken for granted.
• “digital technology is no more intimidating to them than a bread toaster”
(Tapscott, 1998)
• ‘Net generation’ is the first generation to be more comfortable,
knowledgeable and literate than their parents, teachers and other adults.

• Digital culture can be taken for granted?
– Education, privacy issues…
(education, e-learning, social networks)
• Unexploited innovations
– Productivity in business, burocracy, education,
health…
