This document discusses how the nature of work is changing from the traditional "9:00am to 5:00pm" model. It first provides background on key dates in technology and society. It then addresses three questions: 1) Why spatial information is important by defining it and giving examples of its uses. 2) How the traditional work model is changing due to new priorities around work-life balance, flexibility, and diversity. 3) Suggestions for moving forward, including quotes about learning from others, building empathy, and focusing on character over credentials. The document advocates embracing these changes to work styles and perspectives.

The Power of Context and The Future of Digital Marketing
This document discusses how emerging technologies are making computing devices more intuitive by understanding context. It explains that context is influenced by what is around us and what we want to do next. It also discusses how the combination of mobile devices, social media, data, sensors, and location-based services allows technology to gain a better understanding of context by knowing who we are, what we are doing, and what we may do next. However, this increased understanding of context through our personal data comes at the tradeoff of privacy versus personalization.

The document discusses old and new technologies used by different generations, with a focus on how millennials access news and use social media. It defines old technologies as those now obsolete like floppy disks, and new technologies as emerging tools like artificial intelligence. Millennials prefer getting news through social media like Facebook rather than traditional means. They also spend many hours online per week. While social media provides connections and information sharing, overuse can negatively impact health and privacy, and enable cyberbullying.

This document discusses how Generation Z women have different characteristics and technology usage patterns than previous generations due to growing up with ubiquitous technology and social media. It notes that Gen Z women are constantly connected digitally and use mobile devices and social media extensively. The document suggests midwives should understand how Gen Z women's technology usage impacts their information and communication needs, especially during pregnancy and postpartum. It argues midwives and healthcare organizations need to take a women-centered approach and leverage new technologies to better facilitate information sharing and support the needs of Gen Z women.
Transformed media landscape - and how we can make best use of it
The document discusses how the media landscape has been transformed by the internet and new technologies. Key points include:
1. The internet has created a new form of mass-self communication that is interactive, horizontal and allows many-to-many communication in real-time.
2. Web 2.0 and social media have enabled a new form of civil society through ubiquitous communication and sharing of images, sounds and ideas.
3. Commons-based peer production has created a new economic model where large projects are completed through coordinated creative effort, often without traditional hierarchy or financial compensation.
Social media and marital choices
Human beings are faced with numerous choices every day. These choices vary from the most trivial ones to the most important ones. One important choice (probably after the choice of becoming born again) is the marital choice, especially the choice of whom to marry. One phenomenon that is influencing people’s choices in this modern age is the social media in particular and the Internet in general. The social media and the Internet have influenced many facets of human endeavours. The contemporary marriage is not exempted from this influence. As a matter of fact, many people are now using social media to meet and connect with others and some of such connections have led to marital choice and marriage. This article aims at looking at social media and the Internet and how they are affecting the contemporary marriages both positively and adversely.

Barbara is a woman living alone in Australia after immigrating from Germany with her husband. Her husband passed away two years ago. She is socially isolated, only leaving the house to shop, and her main social connection is speaking to her daughter on Skype once a week. Without her computer, Barbara would have little personal connection and contact with her daughter. The document discusses how technology and social media can help address social isolation among older populations.
Connect To Survive - The Digital Divide
The document discusses several topics related to connecting and surviving the digital divide:
1. It outlines how Web 2.0 tools like blogs, social networks, and content sharing platforms have created a new knowledge paradigm where value is created through collaboration and connectivity. Those who do not embrace these changes may become isolated.
2. It examines how different generations have varying levels of digital literacy and expectations of how technology should be used. This creates challenges for organizations with multigenerational workforces.
3. It notes that while online consultation can increase participation, barriers like age, income, and skills still contribute to a "digital divide." Not all groups are equally able to engage through digital means alone.
Technology creates social isolation and neurosis social impact of technology
Technology has both benefits and drawbacks for social interaction and mental well-being. While technology has enhanced communication and connectivity, it can also enable social isolation and neurosis. Excessive technology and social media use is linked to increased social isolation, especially among children, teens and young adults. While technology improves aspects of modern life, overreliance on it can damage human relationships and competence. To avoid negative effects, people should pursue in-person social activities and limit non-essential technology use.

The document discusses the impact of the internet on society and human interaction. It argues that while the internet allows people to connect globally, it may be threatening intimacy and real human connection. Social media use is replacing real-life experiences and memories with digital ones. The initiative proposes limiting social media use for those under 13 to help preserve meaningful human interaction and experiences, especially during childhood development. It acknowledges both benefits and drawbacks of internet use and calls for balancing digital and real-world connections.

Work/Technology 2050: Scenarios and Actions (Dubai talk)
The Millennium Project conducted a three-year global study on the future of work and technology called the Work/Technology 2050 Global Study. The study involved over 1,300 pages and used 37 different futures methods. It developed three scenarios for how work and technology could evolve by 2050: a mixed scenario, a political/economic turmoil scenario, and a self-actualization scenario. National workshops were held to discuss long-term strategies. This resulted in 93 proposed actions that were assessed in the areas of education, government, business, culture, and science/technology. The study explored how emerging technologies could profoundly impact work and the need for new economic and social systems to address issues like unemployment.
