The document discusses several topics related to ubiquitous computing and new technologies, including multi-touch interfaces, augmented reality, RFID, sensor networks, and social media. It notes that South Korea is embracing ubiquitous technologies and building smart infrastructure. While data is increasingly mapped and visualized, ubiquitous computing will truly be realized when people and things can constantly share information in real-time through platforms like Twitter. The document also discusses trends in communication moving toward slower experiences, the importance of social objects, and opportunities in experiential play and emerging markets.

People have created and modified tools to address their needs since prehistoric times. But since a few generations we simply buy the tools we need and use them in the way they have been designed. With the current pervasive presence of digital technology, these digital 'tools' are increasingly defining how we live, communicate, learn and work.
Many think of this as nauseating and constraining. We feel that we are forced to live the way big corporations have designed it for us. We feel no longer free to do what we want.
Why can't we design our own tools anymore? Is it really true that corporations always know better what we want? What about those people who fall outside of the mainstream, and have needs and contexts of life that require special tools, that these people can design themselves better than anyone else? And are we not all sometimes out of the mainstream?
In fact, we are increasingly becoming tech tinkerers, adapting our digital tools to a great variety of human needs.
This phenomenon has only just started. The open source hardware revolution has hardly kicked off, also due to the fact that digital technology that surrounds us is not always easy to modify.
But what would our world be like if technology was easy to modify? Would there be more empowerment? Innovation? Democracy? Participation? What could be in it for business? What could this all mean for people in emerging markets and for the future web of things?

Futurist Gerd Leonhard on: Why Open is King- new opportunities in a digitally networked economy
We live in very exciting times - change is constant, new opportunities open up every day; while new challenges seem to pick up the pace, as well. Companies that favor an open and user-empowering approach are gaining ground very quickly, while many large media companies and previously ruling brands struggle to make the new paradigms work for themselves.....

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.

UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING (continued) People less influenced by physical space, moreso by the networks laid over these spaces Evidence of this in geotagging: nobody is unique Twittr helps us visualise all of the possibilities of the universe at once: Schroedinger’s cat Currently too many grey areas Though data is constantly mapped and visualised, we don’t yet have it HERE and NOW Ubiquitous Computing will be realised when everybody and everything Twittrs http://infovore.org/archives/2008/02/28/making-bridges-talk/

12. BLOF Holland’s most successful band over last decade have bucked the trend for declining music sales. Lessons they have learnt: Extra content doesn’t work New formats don’t work Higher quality doesn’t work … but creating a story around albums does work. Latest album: ‘Umoia’ involved collaberating with international artists for each song in their native country. Then content was created throughout the process around this. Result: 2 TV documentaries, cd, dvd, live album, restaurant, live VJ tool at Pickering House, CO2 offset company…

18. SUMMARY / THEMES Mobiles as a utility. All data and platforms have to become mobile. Mobile as a sensory tool. True interaction to occur in slower environments. Tampering with reality to steal attention increasingly important – on or offline. (particularly in environments where people are so controlled by networks) Comms to be increasingly data driven (artistically or not) Need to explore possibility of moving RFID into realms of experiential play Simple is good We’re on the right track. And a long way ahead of a lot of the field.
