WCC Comm 101-Chapter #9 focus video games (updated) LUTHER
The document discusses how a 2013 UK documentary makes the case that video games have changed the world by impacting society and culture. It highlights how the documentary provides examples of at least 3 games that had significant impacts. It also notes that the number one choice of most impactful game may seem surprising. Additionally, it presents statistics that show video games are played by people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds in the US and that three-quarters of gamers report video games provide mental stimulation and relaxation.
Dumbest Generation
This document discusses several technologies that may contribute to the current generation being seen as the dumbest, including electronic entertainment like video games, internet search engines that provide quick answers, constant texting that replaces face-to-face communication, and the prevalence of social networking.

Creative summit 2011
This document discusses the ubiquity of technology and its impact on user experiences. It notes that devices are increasingly connected, services span multiple devices, and experiences are becoming ubiquitous. However, it also quotes concerns that technology may encourage shallow thinking and prevent focusing on real human connections. The conclusion debates whether the future will be one of "ux-biquity" where technology is invisible but everywhere, or a return to prioritizing relationships with real people over technology.

A woman in Guangzhou, China ended up in a coma after trying to treat a minor itch with a dangerous chemical spray. She had been cleaning her home when she noticed an itchy sensation on her body. Unable to stop the itching through other means, she sprayed two bottles of DDVP, a chemical insecticide, all over her body. Less than 10 minutes later, she became dizzy and vomited and fell into a deep coma, requiring hospitalization.

Resume e
As a consultant I have spent the last 20 years developing my understanding of the greater demands from society for ethical business practices and how business can increase profits and gain competitive advantage through understanding the demands and communicating effectively with all stakeholders along with current and potential consumers.
I have advised McDonald’s in Chicago and Marks & Spencer’s in London with regards to brand diligence and ethical trade strategies and how a corporate strategy in these areas will represent a long term competitive advantage as consumer demands change.
During the development of standards, regulations and enforcement activities it was necessary to communicate with all interested parties in order to where feasible achieve consensus and ensure strategic ownership amongst all stakeholders.
I have demonstrated highly developed analytical skills most recently in my Master’s Thesis concerning hostile consumer behaviour and previously in national and international projects where I have represented Norway effectively in a number of projects including research into health risks of consumer products, technical standardisation and general product safety.
The provision of strategic compliance knowledge was a core activity in the protection and communication of consumer interests. Examples of strategic compliance knowledge where research concerning consumer behaviour and the characteristics of accidents involving consumer products.

This document outlines specific guidelines for an Act regarding animal welfare in Norway. Some key points:
- The Act aims to encourage good animal welfare and respect for animals as sentient beings with intrinsic value beyond their utility to humans.
- All individuals have a duty to help animals they discover that are sick, injured or helpless. This includes notifying authorities if unable to provide adequate help or if a large number of animals are affected.
- Anyone responsible for animals must have the necessary competence to care for them properly and ensure appropriate staffing. Those conducting activities like hunting or fishing must also have competence regarding animal welfare.
- Children under 16 cannot have independent responsibility for animal care. Animals cannot be transferred to individuals

Presentation by Liesbeth Huybrechts for the postgraduate program Multimedia & Communication: social en participatory use of new media.
Curtin 22 May 2014-Seminar: Digital Humanities is not just text
Digital humanities tools and techniques like visualization can provide new ways of doing research and generating insights. Visualization allows researchers to notice historical relations and ask new questions that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. It also allows testing of stories and narratives about the past. Examples of digital humanities projects that combine text and 3D models were presented to help integrate different forms of evidence. Issues discussed included how to represent cultural knowledge and inhabitants' points of view, how to convey the meanings and significance of cultural artifacts, and how to evaluate whether digital projects truly support learning about the past.

- Early computer networks like ARPANET and BBS communities that helped pioneer the concepts of distributed networks and online communities.
- The "Hyperland" documentary that envisioned many aspects of hypertext and digital media that would be realized by the Web.
- How the Web brought together networks, hypertext, and digital communities in a way that shaped its social and cultural impact.

From artificially intelligent systems towards real thinking tools and human scale models that improve both human and machine learning
--
In an increasingly software and data-intensive human world, the objective of human-scale computing is to improve filtering, collaboration, thinking, and learning:
1. between humans,
2. between humans and software systems,
3. and between software systems.
This objective is another way of stating the goal of developing a 'language and interaction style' that is better than any formal or informal language reliant on linear syntax.

FryskLab - Education, innovation and maker culture in the library
FryskLab is an initiative of Library Service Friesland (Bibliotheekservice Fryslân, BSF) and the Frisian public library network. Friesland is a rural province in the northern part of the Netherlands and FryskLab, operating from a truck formerly used as a bookmobile, is Europe’s first official library FabLab, or “fabrication laboratory”. Its varied team consists of IT specialists, arts management professionals and librarians, and its goal is to examine the extent to which this mobile FabLab initiative contributes to the development of creative, technical and entrepreneurial skills of children and young adults. The project is ultimately expected to result in an increase of the innovative capacities of the entire province of Friesland.
Officially launched in 2014, FryskLab has so far received a number of awards, including the American Library Association’s (ALA) 2017 Presidential Citations for Innovative International Library Projects award. Making knowledge and sharing the future, the motto of the FryskLab project, reinforces the role of libraries in facilitating access to various “tools of knowledge” (equipment and technology) and providing support in the form of various educational and training programmes, effectively bringing together physical and digital, traditional and modern means of acquiring knowledge.

The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
