Automation of knowledge work involves using computers to perform tasks previously done by knowledge workers such as data analysis, problem solving, and decision making. As computers get better at mimicking human reasoning, they are taking over more high-paying jobs. Trends include increased automation of workflows, accessibility of information, remote and distributed work, and exponential increases in computer processing power. While automation shortens time to acquire knowledge and provides accurate information, it also risks human manipulation and could displace human jobs. It may help industries like medicine, manufacturing, law, education and finance by enabling faster research, consistent learning, and identification of existing information. However, there are also concerns about its impact on the economy and jobs.
This document provides notes from a digital business workshop. It includes:
- An agenda covering introductions, reviewing previous topics, exercises and presentations, and next steps.
- An introduction to the workshop facilitator and information on how to connect with her online.
- A discussion of previous workshop topics including the scope of AI and jobs of the future.
- Key topics for the day including defining digital business, analyzing macro trends through PESTLE analysis, and discussing waves of digital disruption.
In a rapidly changing world of growing demand and diminishing resources merely polishing our old technologies and making industrial processes ever more efficient only delays the onset of crisis and collapse - it does not solve the fundamental problem. Sustainable futures are inextricably linked to radical change and the creation of new technologies based on new materials, processing, shaping, use, reuse, repurposing and recycling at minimal loss.
So we look to the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Nano and Bio-Technology to demonstrate advances are being made, and where the biggest societal changes will originate. We take a deep dive into the realm of human replacement and augmentation by machine, and the likely implications for individuals, groups, society, companies, institutions and governments.
The world of work and employment has never changed so fast or been so complex, and it is showing no sign of slowing down. The raw technologies of communication and IT now see the simultaneous arrival of Mobile Working, BYOD, BMOB, Social Nets; Open Nets, Software, Apps and The Cloud plus Big Data. This is no accident - everything is now connected - and one technology enables/breeds another to satisfy seen and unseen demands!
Not only have we all become typists, computer operators, reprographic specialists, designers, photo takers and movie makers, editors and exceptional producers, our skill sets and abilities are about to be amplified further by artificial intelligence and robotics. Needless to say HR Departments are facing the challenge of existing workforces thinking and operating behind the wave, whilst the new entries are generally ahead of the game and prone to breaking all the rules!
The document outlines the agenda for a management information systems class, including:
- A case discussion on Kodak's success in traditional photography and challenges transitioning to digital.
- A discussion of blog posts and readings on topics like digital photography pros and cons, and how incumbents can avoid pitfalls of emerging technologies.
- An in-class activity where students identify examples of digitally impacted items and compare old and new processes.

Embracing Social Learning Across The EnterpriseMzinga
The document discusses the rise of social learning across enterprises. It argues that the nature of communication has changed from one-to-one to many-to-many. Also, workforces have changed with older workers retiring and younger workers having different expectations. Traditional training methods are ineffective. Social learning uses social media and user-generated content to improve learning in a more informal way. The document presents three models for implementing social learning and discusses benefits like increased scale, throughput, and sharing of expertise.

DCLA meet CIDA: Collective Intelligence Deliberation Analytics Simon Buckingham Shum
DCLA14: 2nd International Workshop on Discourse-Centric Learning Analyticsat LAK14: http://dcla14.wordpress.com
Abstract: This discussion paper builds a bridge between Discourse-Centric Learning Analytics (DCLA), whose focus tends to be on student discourse in formal educational contexts, and research and practice in Collective Intelligence Deliberation Analytics (CIDA), which seeks to scaffold quality deliberation in teams/collectives devising solutions to complex problems. CIDA research aims to equip networked communities with deliberation platforms capable of hosting large scale, reflective conversations, and actively feeding back to participants and moderators the ‘vital signs’ of the community and the state of its deliberations. CIDA tends to focus not on formal educational communities, although many would consider themselves learning communities in the broader sense, as they recognize the need to pool collective intelligence in order to understand, and co-evolve solutions to, complex dilemmas. We propose that the context and rationale behind CIDA efforts, and emerging CIDA implementations, contribute a research and technology stream to the DCLA community. The argument is twofold: (i) The context of CIDA work connects with the growing recognition in educational thinking that students from school age upwards should be given the opportunities to engage in authentic learning challenges, wrestling with problems and engaging in practices increasingly close to the complexity they will confront when they graduate. (ii) In the contexts of both DCLA and CIDA, different kinds of users need feedback on the state of the debate, and the quality of the conversation: the students and educators served by DCLA are mirrored by the citizens and facilitators served by CIDA. In principle, therefore, a fruitful dialogue could unfold between DCLA/CIDA researchers and practitioners, in order to better understand common and distinctive requirements.
The document makes two observations: 1) that human nature remains unchanged over long periods of time and humans are social animals who communicate using available tools; and 2) that societal norms are ever changing. It concludes with two quotes: the first from Hesiod in the 8th century BC complaining about reckless youth, and the second from William Gibson noting that the future is already here but unevenly distributed.
This document discusses research on emergent leadership in online communities. It presents early findings that nominated online leaders tend to have central, core positions in the community network and use positive, concise language in their many posts, more so than other members. The research aims to understand the structural and linguistic characteristics that distinguish leaders from other community members using computational analysis of communication data from three online forums. Future work is needed to further develop theories of emergent leadership and analyze language features of leadership in more depth.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
