I gave this talk in October 2019 about ways that your digital and online habits can be tracked and what kind of data you inadvertently leak, along with tools that you can use to protect your privacy.
This is the digital technology self-efficacy measure we use in our research.
A 17-item digital technology self-efficacy measure adapted from Holcomb, King, & Brown (2004) who reported reliability µ=0.80. Language was updated replacing computer with digital technology. Items were measured with a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). A 1.0 score reflects low digital technology self-efficacy, while a 4.0 represents high digital technology self-efficacy.

IT Consumerization – iPad’ing the Enterprise or BYO Malware?Barry Caplin
Companies are increasingly encouraging employees to purchase their own devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops to use at work according to a recent survey by CIO magazine. The acronyms BYOC and BYOD (like Bring Your Own Beer - Bring Your Own Computer/Device) have become mainstream technology terms. But what does BYOD mean for the enterprise? Can we mix personally owned devices and enterprise workstations/cellphones in our environment? How do we control configuration and data on personal devices? What about malware and other security concerns? What about improper disclosure of private data and intellectual property? And how will staff get work done when they are busy playing Angry Birds?
Is BYOD the flavor of the week or is the future of end-user hardware? Regardless of how security leaders may feel about the concept, we need to be prepared. We must understand what is driving BYOD, how it may, or may not, fit our environments, and have policy and tools ready.
In this interactive session we will discuss: What is IT Consumerization/BYOD? What are the benefits and concerns? Is there a cost savings? What are the Security concerns - BYOMalware? How do we protect data? And how can I start BYOD in my organization?
And yes, you can Bring Your Own Devices to this session!

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
