Technological advances, especially the rise of social media, have fundamentally changed how people interact socially. While social media has increased sociability through greater connectivity and information sharing, it has also led to new issues like isolation, distraction, and cyberbullying due to excessive or unethical usage. Experts predict that social media will continue to be further integrated into daily life over the next 10 years, but innovations may significantly impact the industry and social interaction in unknown ways. Both the benefits and concerns regarding social media's effects on human relations are also likely to continue increasing.

Social Networking and its impact on Youth, Culture, Communication and Behavior
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In this survey paper, I concluded six research projects on Social Networking and its impact. The Social Networking has become increasingly popular components of our everyday lives in today’s globalized society. They provide a context where people across the world can communicate, exchange messages, share knowledge, and interact with each other seamlessly.
Not a complete work of mine. This is just a survey done by me as a fulfillment of my In course assessment. All the references had been cited.
For most people living and working in developed parts of the world, it is difficult to remember life Before Digital—the time before computers, Internet, and mobile phones. For those under age 25, it is not just difficult but virtually impossible to remember such a predigital existence.
These people are known as Millenials, and Social Media is embedded in their DNA.
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.

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.

Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
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.

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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

How do you imagine social interaction within 10 years, taking into consideration the impact of technology on human relations?
1. How do you imagine social interaction within 10 years, taking into
consideration the impact of technology on human relations?
By N.U.N.
2. Technological advances have irreversibly changed social interaction
The way we play or
compete…
The way we help or
sympathize…
The way we meet or
inform…
And among the numerous
technologies …
3. Social Media evolution revolutionized our communication:
Real time communication-
connected 24/7
Broken boundaries
New forms of communication-
status updates, tweets, videos and
filtered photos
Changed language
4. Social Media has brought a positive change to social
interaction
INCREASED
SOCIABILITY
• More interaction, but
different interaction
• Greater network
• More opportunities for
introverts
CROSS-CULTURAL
COMMUNICATION
• More aware of the
world
• More tolerant
• Planetary relationships
SHARING
COMMUNITY
• Quick sharing of news
and events
• Sharing opportunities:
work or education
• Sharing joy or grief
5. This trend is likely to continue within 10 years…
The experts’ opinions on the portable future of social
media and its impact are split.
Innovations may significantly change the entire
industry and the future of social interaction.
Despite positive side, the concerns regarding the
social media’s negative impact might increase. This,
in turn, will stimulate to regulate the usage of social
media ( ethic rules, restrictions for kids and teens).
However
6. What are the Predictions
on the Future
of Social Media and its impact?
“I think it’s pretty easy to imagine that in the future we will have something that we can either
wear — and it’ll look like normal glasses. And you’ll just be able to have context with what’s
going on around you in the world and communicate with people and not have to disrupt your
conversations by looking down.”- Marc Zuckerberg
Human nature isn’t changing; there’s laziness,
bullying, stalking, stupidity, pornography, dirty tricks, crime, and those who practice them have
new capacity to make life miserable for others.
Information sharing over the Internet will be so effortlessly interwoven
into daily life that it will become invisible, flowing like electricity,
often through machine intermediaries.
7. Technology was meant to solve specific problems, but didn’t it
bring certain problems?
Sense of isolation due to social media addiction and lack of real
communication
“Studies show that only 7% of communication is based on the written or verbal word. 93% is based
on nonverbal body language. Indeed, it’s only when we can hear a tone of voice or look into
someone’s eyes that we’re able to know when “I’m fine” doesn’t mean they’re fine at all…”
Lack of focus due to constant distractions to check social media sites
Creating fake profiles, violating privacy and cyber bullying
The Olivia Haters Club: The new phenomenon called cyber bullying was the focus of a thirteen-
year-old girl’s existence in 2006. Olivia Gardner has epilepsy, and inspired a mean girls’ club
called "Olivia Haters" that kids from her middle school set up on MySpace. Gardner’s family could
not charge the girls with any sort of crime, but it was still a shocking revelation for them.
8. CONCLUSION
Technologies, in particular social media development has largely
influenced human interaction.
With emergence of social media we have witnessed increasing sociability,
but a different kind of sociability. Social media has also fostered global
connectivity and provided more opportunities by quick information
sharing.
These positive effects are most likely to continue for the next 10 years.
– However, the excessive and unethical usage of social media poses
concerns. This may lead to greater regulation of social media.
– We also can not predict all possible innovations and their effects.
