Tuning personal competencies to the Information Society

The document discusses access to knowledge and the digital divide. It outlines several frameworks for understanding how access to technology relates to development and network societies. These include theories of human development, network societies, and strategies for addressing the digital divide through infrastructure development, legal frameworks, digital literacy training, and increasing access to content and services. The document also discusses different types of digital literacy and how access to knowledge and technology can empower citizens or lead to inequality and exclusion in information societies.

Looking forward to 2023: What is the state of telecentres

Innovation Ecosystems Network (IEN)

1) The document discusses the current and future state of telecentres. While last mile infrastructure issues are being solved, advanced digital skills are still required. 2) It proposes the development of telecentre networks that outsource administration and partner with governments and businesses. Telecentres would become ICT centers integrated into organizations, communities, and local entrepreneurs. 3) The vision is a transition from standalone telecentres to networked community centers and living labs that promote inclusion, education, entrepreneurship, and lifelong learning through strategic partnerships.

The economies of mankind have evolved dramatically over time. From hunter-gatherers, we settled down once we discovered the art of farming, thereby giving rise to the first settlements and the first true economies. Nevertheless, as settlements became towns we became reliant on trading, even more so as empires started to flourish in the ancient times. This, in turn, resulted in a manufacturing base which grew rapidly with the start of the industrial era in the 1800’s which further cemented the dominant position that the West had in the world. However, as we know, it did not stop there and soon it became apparent that in order to manage such complex systems, information and knowledge was required. The age of the knowledge worker was upon us and it is estimated by the IDC that the growth rate of knowledge workers worldwide doubled compared to that of other occupations between 1999 and 2007. This has underpinned the continuing economic growth of the West, but also necessitated structural changes in its economies as knowledge work differs not only from manual work in that it delivers information rather than goods, but it also requires higher degrees of flexibility and autonomy and is reliant on innovation driven by collaboration. This, in turn, necessitates different systems, working practices, technology and organisational models. Whilst the West has been building up its knowledge industry, it did so at the expense of its manufacturing industry as its citizens became wealthier and rising labour costs made it economically unviable to compete with developing countries who were not burdened with such welfare and legacy costs. The result was a notable shift in manufacturing from the developed countries towards the developing countries, but as the latter ones are building up their product base too, many of them are now also undergoing a rapid transition into knowledge based industries. 2

The document discusses integrated quality approaches in business networks. It covers several key topics: 1. Universal networking phenomena and how networks exist everywhere from biology to human aggregations. 2. How organizations form value networks with customers, partners, and suppliers. Managing relationships within these networks is important. 3. New interactive information technologies encourage both formal and informal networking within and between organizations.

Toward a Civilization of Collective Intelligence

Gabriela Agustini

Pierre Lévy proposes using a semantic language called IEML (Integrated Electronic MetaLanguage) to advance collective intelligence on the internet. IEML would allow for: 1) Semantic interoperability between different ontologies, folksonomies, and languages. 2) A transparent semantic addressing system to connect ideas rather than just documents. 3) Empowering writing and reading by generating texts automatically from concepts. IEML aims to enhance collective intelligence by making the underlying semantics of online information more explicit and manipulable.

John Sutcliffe-Braithwaite introduces the Computational Socio-Geonomics (CSG/M) toolkit, which uses complexity science and emergence to model societal dynamics. CSG/M can be seen as a ubiquitous methodology for experimental societal modeling. It provides a new research paradigm involving a federation between Future Internet science and other domains to design and deploy modeling tools to better understand complex societal issues. The goal is to widely share this work and the modeling platform to support strategic societal change through an integrated societal modeling approach.

The document discusses the role of human sciences in future internet design. It notes that the internet has evolved from a machine network focused on host-to-host communication to a human-centric network that blends digital and physical worlds. It is emerging as a tool to study human behavior at large scales. The structure and content of online social networks provides insights into how people interact and share information. Understanding human cognition and decision-making can inform self-aware systems for content-centric internets. A new multi-disciplinary approach is needed combining ICT and human sciences like sociology, anthropology and psychology to account for the human element in internet evolution.

ITSME

1) The document proposes ITSME, an initiative to develop an innovative workstation called based on a new "venue metaphor" that aims to better organize users' work and interactions beyond the limits of the traditional desktop metaphor. 2) ITSME would be developed using an open source approach involving researchers, developers and users. It would use a new Linux-based operating system frontend and support migrating from current systems like Windows and MacOS. 3) The goal is to launch ITSME over three years, with an initial focus on developing the frontend interface and later a hardware prototype, targeting knowledge workers frustrated by current workstation limitations.

ITSME, presentazione

1. ITSME is a project that aims to develop an innovative workstation operating system based on a "venue metaphor" that organizes information by stories and social contexts rather than files and folders. 2. The current desktop metaphor used in operating systems is over 30 years old and inadequate for managing the complexity of users' lives and information. ITSME aims to address these limitations with a new venue-based metaphor. 3. ITSME will be developed over three years, starting with a front-end operating system prototype followed by a hardware prototype and migration support tools to transition users from other operating systems. The target users are knowledge workers and professionals.

The nature of social software and how it changes the business - Cecil Dijoux

The document discusses how social software changes the way businesses operate by leveraging social tools to get work done. It defines social software as collaborative online tools like blogs, wikis, profiles, forums, and social bookmarking. Social software allows knowledge to flow through relationships and conversations rather than be confined within structured databases. It emphasizes people-centric approaches and tacit knowledge sharing over traditional top-down and structured data-driven systems.
