“フォーブスのトップ200社など、世界のトップ企業が採用するセキュリティ技術とは？”などと書くと、どこかの広告のようだが、大手企業が契約しているサイバーセキュリティ技術はイスラエルの、ごく一部の企業に集中している。以前から漠然と疑問に思っていたのだが、偶然にも自動車のサイバーセキュリティに関して取材をしているときにその理由を知った。ご存知のとおりイスラエルは地理、政治、宗教などにおいて複雑な状況にあり、日常的にテロの脅威にさらされている。このため諜報機関や軍事組織が発達していることはご存知だろう。国民皆徴兵制で、多くの国民は高校卒業後、大学に入る前に徴兵義務をこなすという。(本文より)本田雅一　続・モバイル通信リターンズはこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

The Mobile Wave argues that the changes brought by mobile computing are so big and widespread that it’s impossible for us to see it all, even though we are all immersed in it. Saylor explains that the current generation of mobile smart phones and tablet computers has set the stage to become the universal computing platform for the world. In the hands of billions of people and accessible anywhere and anytime, mobile computers are poised to become an appendage of the human being and an essential tool for modern life.

Hello World takes us on a tour through the good, the bad, and the downright ugly of the algorithms that surround us on a daily basis. Mathematician Hannah Fry reveals their inner workings, showing us how algorithms are written and implemented, and demonstrates the ways in which human bias can literally be written into the code. By weaving in relatable, real world stories with accessible explanations of the underlying mathematics that power algorithms, Hello World helps us to determine their power, expose their limitations, and examine whether they really are improvements.

What do Google, Snapchat, Tinder, Amazon, and Uber have in common, besides soaring market share? They're platforms - a new business model that has quietly become the only game in town. A platform, by definition, creates value by facilitating an exchange between two or more interdependent groups. So, rather than making things, they simply connect people. The advent of mobile computing and its ubiquitous connectivity have forever altered how we interact with each other. Yet, few people truly grasp the radical structural shifts of the last 10 years.

Immaginiamo un futuro in cui sapiens supertecnologici controlleranno, con le loro intelligenze aumentate, il mondo; mentre altri sapiens desueti, saranno relegati a un ruolo marginale. Uno scenario solo fantascientifico?Oggi l'intelligenza artificiale, le neuroscienze, le nanotecnologie, la genetica modificano in modo sempre più vertiginoso il rapporto tra l'uomo e la natura. Nella storia dell'umanità sta succedendo qualcosa che potrebbe anche portare alla fine di Homo sapiens.

Hoy más de la mitad de la población mundial se comunica, aprende, trabaja, compra, se informa, se organiza, escucha, lee o se entretiene con Internet y todo lo digital. Como en otros ámbitos de la educación, las familias ya no pueden desentenderse de la educación digital de sus hijos. Aunque tampoco conviene alarmarse. Para ello hay que tener unos criterios claros de buen comportamiento digital que se puedan transmitir a los hijos.

On May 31, 2014, in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls attempted to stab their classmate to death. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier’s violence was extreme, but what seemed even more frightening was that they committed their crime under the influence of a figure born by the internet: the so-called “Slenderman”. Yet the even more urgent aspect of the story, that the children involved suffered from undiagnosed mental illnesses, often went overlooked in coverage of the case.

Estamos frente a una nueva revolución industrial, un proceso siempre traumático en el corto plazo que en el medio y el largo acaba mereciendo la pena, generando mucho empleo y devolviendo la esperanza a quienes nacieron sin ella o la dejaron por el camino. Desafortunadamente, saberlo no minimiza el trauma social, por lo que "No te vas a morir" llega para apoyar a todos aquellos que apuesten por sumarse a este fenómeno, sea cual sea su edad, profesión o experiencia laboral, porque en estos momentos hay espacio para todos.

Information is power, and the time is now for digital liberation. Access Rules mounts a strong and hopeful argument for how informational tools at present in the hands of a few could instead become empowering machines for everyone. By forcing data-hoarding companies to open access to their data, we can reinvigorate both our economy and our society. Authors Viktor Mayer-Schönberger and Thomas Ramge contend that if we disrupt monopoly power and create a level playing field, digital innovations can emerge to benefit us all.

L'accelerazionismo è Legione: proprio come il demone biblico, esso è una miriade di forze contrastanti, uno spettro multiforme che aspetta di incarnarsi e gridare il proprio nome. Non è una via d'uscita dal capitalismo, né un'alternativa valida in cui sperare: è soprattutto una nuova e radicale modalità di vivere il presente e le sue infinite contraddizioni".

La tecnologia del terzo millennio non aiuta gli uomini a migliorare la loro esistenza né a ridurre gli impatti sul pianeta. Non è semplice, né utile e nemmeno educativa. Essa, totalmente slegata dalla radice scientifica, è, invece, fine a se stessa, "barocca", dannosa e insostenibile da un punto di vista ambientale. Viene spesso usata per rimediare ai danni perpetrati da una tecnologia precedente, incrementa i profitti basati sui bisogni indotti, accelera l'obsolescenza di oggetti e macchine, è costosa, fa perdere tempo.

Life Mode On is a revolutionary approach to living a better life with technology and our personal devices, from digital lifestyle expert Dr Joanne Orlando. These are no quick fixes; these are real, practical solutions for long-term fulfilment in our increasingly digital world. Dr Jo helps people to understand their technology use and make it better.

Nobody meant for this to happen. Facebook didn't mean to facilitate a genocide. Twitter didn't want to be used to harass women. YouTube never planned to radicalise young men. But with billions of users, these platforms need only tweak their algorithms to generate more 'engagement'. In so doing, they bring unrest to previously settled communities and erode our relationships. Social warming has happened gradually - as a by-product of our preposterously convenient digital existence.

"La sicurezza cibernetica è un problema di sicurezza nazionale, se dovesse scoppiare una guerra la minaccia non arriverebbe dai carri armati ma dagli attacchi ai sistemi digitali, dalle torri di controllo agli acquedotti." (Antonello Soro, la Repubblica). Il rapporto tra tecnica e democrazia, pur certamente non nuovo, è divenuto centrale nell'era digitale. L'impatto delle nuove tecnologie sulla vita individuale e collettiva è tale da dover essere affrontato con il massimo grado di consapevolezza.

In this pioneering work, technology lawyer Rahul Matthan traces the changing notions of privacy from the earliest times to its evolution through landmark cases in the UK, US and India. In the process, he reimagines the way we should be thinking about privacy today if we are to take full advantage of modern data technologies, cautioning against getting so obsessed with their potential harms that we design our laws to prevent us from benefiting from them at all.

Warum wir uns freiwillig unterwerfen. Ein kleiner Kreis von gleichgesinnten überreichen CEO's aus Silicon Valley und aus China spielt derzeit Gott und arbeitet daran, alles zu automatisieren, was automatisiert werden kann. Und wir alle spielen mit, wickeln unser Berufs-, Sozial- und Liebesleben mit ihren Algorithmen ab und werden zu ihren Komplizen. Was nur macht diese Faszination aus?, fragt Internetexpertin Gisela Schmalz. Warum lassen wir eine Fremdbestimmung durch technologiekontrollierende Machtcliquen überhaupt zu?

In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine how technology - more specifically, age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity - has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation. Brain imaging research is showing that stimulating glowing screens are as dopaminergic (dopamine activating) to the brain’s pleasure center as sex. And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis.

Social media on the internet can be a nightmarish place. A primary shield against hateful language, violent videos, and online cruelty uploaded by users is not an algorithm. It is people. Mostly invisible by design, more than 100,000 commercial content moderators evaluate posts on mainstream social media platforms: enforcing internal policies, training artificial intelligence systems, and actively screening and removing offensive material. Roberts, an award-winning social media scholar, offers the first extensive ethnographic study of the commercial content moderation industry.
