This slideshow discusses the changing definition of the digital divide, showing how social media and being connected weren't an obvious part of life previously, and how, today, being connected affects our lives so deeply that it affects our careers.

When we speak of the digital self, we are referring to the self as it exists in digital realms. This varies depending on the individual, since some of us prefer to live online under a pseudonymous or anonymous persona, apart from our physical selves, and others consider the digital to be a more holistic identity that goes beyond the physical.
Social media and how it affects your job huntLuke Nailor
This presentation talks about how social screening affects the hiring process and how individuals should manage their social media profiles to ensure they have a positive impact on potential employers.

Why Silicon Valley kicks Europe's buttLoic Le Meur
I love Europe and I created 7 years ago LeWeb with my wife Geraldine to help european entrepreneurs get more competitive, but Pablo Larguia and Jose-Maria Figueres invited me to keynote La Red Innova on the reasons why Silicon Valley is ahead.
I wanted to be honest and share a few reasons why I think Silicon Valley wins, some are easy to fix, others much more complicated.
I think the most important one is what goal you set for yourself. If your goal is to dominate Madrid or Paris in your niche, you might just succeed, but if you set yourself such a local goal, there is low chance you’re actually going to build a global success and be the best in the world at what you do.
It’s the key, most people I know in Silicon Valley dream about building a world leader, not a local leader, it’s a question of attitude, and THAT is easy to change. Think more in english and more global, you might be able to achieve your dreams, but they have to be the right dreams.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

The Changing Digital Divide
1. The question is no
longer IF we are
connected,
But HOW well are we
connected.
The Changing
Digital Divide
2. The (original) Digital Divide:
The divide used to be between the iHaves vs.
iHaveNots, where only some had access to
technology and information
3. Older generations are less likely
to adopt newer technologies (1)
The Digital Divide is formed
based on a few factors,
including: education,
household income, disability,
generation/age, and location
(e.g. rural vs. urban)
4. In 2013, IBM forecast that the Digital Divide would
end in 2017…
…due to the gap between iHaves and iHaveNots
being bridged by mobile technology (e.g.
tablets, phones)
5. This can be measured in a few
different ways, including Klout.
A new Digital Divide is emerging, based on your
social media popularity and influence.
6. Klout is a website
and app that uses
social media
analytics to rank
users based on
online social
influence,
represented as a
"Klout Score”. A
Klout score is a
number between 1
and 100 which
represents your
influence. The more
influential you are,
the higher your
Klout Score.
7. Understanding social media influence is useful for brands, because
they can approach everyday social media users with high levels of
influence and use them as brand ambassadors or influencers (2)
8. “We are living in a world
now where visibility creates
opportunities and reputation
builds trust.” (3)
9. Marketing and advertising strategies are constantly
evolving with technology and trends
“Social media may still only drive a small
share of total online retail sales, but its impact
is becoming impossible to ignore.” (4)
10. It no longer about IF we are
connected, but HOW well
11. Who cares about our social media and
social influence? Employers
12. Some employers will look at any online profiles that
they can access, but different companies have
different positions on accessing social media
13. Job hunting is moving online to social media sites (5).Employers are looking at
Twitter as the new resume, learning info about you in 140 characters or less (6).
Because it’s the easiest way to learn about who you are, personality and skills-
wise – and you may not even know it’s happening
14. Social media skills are becoming increasingly
important for nearly any job…
…Just like proficiency in Microsoft Office is
a basic skill, social media skills are largely
being regarded in a similar way (7)
15. Your number of social media followers can affect
chances for certain positions where social media
skills are important.
Lots of followers can show that you are already
proficient at using social media for branding
(Software Is Eating The Job Market)
16. Work on Digital Literacy
As a result, you may have more social influence, a better
persona online, and a greater chance at future careers
– Definition: digitally literate person is able to use, understand and
create digital media (8)
– Posting carefully on social media, cleaning up posts
– Mother test: would you show this to mom? (9)
17. Why work on digital literacy?
Weak digital literacy skills can get you fired – or never hired
in the first place.
Social media users often misunderstand profiles as private
when they’re publically available(10)
18. How to use social media to be on the
better side of the divide
• Branding yourself
• Establish a name
• Clear online
presence
• Hyper-
connectivity(11)
19. Hyper-connectivity is the driving force for retail, more than
anything else. That’s why employers look for people who
understand social influence
Brand ambassadors and social media influencers can be used
for your brand’s benefit
20. Before one can be digitally literate, have a strong
personal brand or persona online, or use twitter as a
resume…
…one must have access to technology
21. Therefore, the factors of the old digital divide still
affect the new digital divide
The definition of the digital divide is evolving, not
changing entirely and forgetting its past
