ITU's ICT Development (IDI)

ICT Access, ICT Use, ICT Skills, all measured.

3 components with 11 different indicators to give different information regarding information and or/skills itself. In this case 11 INDICATORS that measure ICT access ICT usage ICT skills make up the ICT Development INDEX

Uses of internet - percentage of people that have it.

Skills - type of ratios and needs.

I.E. The difference between indicators and indexes is: A: indexes are a weighted collection of indicators

Overview: Putting together some core strengths to understand the course. Fill in the blanks and give more details to each of the different aspects.

Digitization and social change what is is all about. Fundamentals, what is technology, innovation theory how to change, social change through social change and structures. Different periods of digitization and characteristics for other applications.

Social change, theory change, technological change.

Changes big data (how e-science changes) big data revolution.

Digital Divide - how everything doesn't work with technology diffuses through and creates some inequality. It is connected to globalization and global/human development itself.

Public policies and private strategies through the different types to guide the digitalization conversation.

Infrastructure (hardware), generic services (apps), (needed first) then capabilities, skills and culture.

Infrastructure, e-government, generic services (apps), regulation & legislation affects all e-sectors.

The cube structure also has negative and positive feedback holding up the cube. Guiding interventions Positive feedback -> runaway dynamic, like and foster, don't like and try to change and negative feedback -> runaway, not like or hate, try to stabilize from it or policy instruments to intervene.

Technological determinism -> tech -> good/outcome (technology determines the outcome, good/bad)

i.e. test question, "The internet increases productivity."? Technological determinism in reality, the internet can make one also extremely unproductive... the internet is just a tool.

Technology is inherently neither good/bad. ALL different outcomes.

Social construction of technology - different outcomes for different uses.

i.e. test question VERY similar and confusing: ""The internet can be USED in a way to increase productivity." Answer: Social construction, it is a tool, that is used by society to construct a certain outcome: in this case productivity

Digital Revolution:

"You however, students of this world, never forget that behind every technology is somebody who is using it and this somebody is a society... And that technology is a weapon, and whoever feels that the world is not as perfect as it should be, should fight, so that the weapon of technology is used to the benefit of society... so that we can build the society of the future, no matter what name it may be given”

what is more important than ICT:

food, resources, clean water, shelter, hygiene, education, maybe modern medicine for those whom need it to live. Basic living conditions to support/protect, relationships, healthcare, then comes Power (electricity and gas) and Transportation as luxury items as they are needed for ICT to work.

ICT - Use of weekly hours online U.S.

One hour per week online is 1 more hour per week. 2013 - 21 hours on avg. Majority of 60% of our time we are using more online.

Internet use at home for job in the U.S. We are inter-mediating face to face all of the time now. less than 30% is now becoming less than that amount.

People are comparing prices online or using internet to inform themselves or learn something. A majority of the people are using it for product comparison online.

ICT - Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Communication - smoke signals, trimpet, newspaper, telegraph, radio, television, and cellular.

Storage technology - cave painting, Chinese paper, printing press, punch cards, magnetic disks, CD-Roms.

Computation - abacus calculator, mechanical, relay.

TELE communication - EVEN SMOKE/FIRE signals are information that is Tele (distance communication) way before the phone. telegraph, horns/trumpets, etc.

You can transmit through space - communication. through time - storage - or you can transform/storage also known as computation.

The digital paradigm all converge binary, digital information itself, the bit (claude shannon - 1948) used more bit information conversion through communication. Store, communicate, and use computation with all the data in today's society.

We are creating this digital footprint, its the global information storage capacity. What society creates. Analog information to digital information, storing it for data through digital information. In 2002 we started storing more data via digital (internet) vs. analog (CD/Videos/Cassettes)

education for the communication analogies of a body nervous system doesn't seem to crazy. Mother nature even can't keep up. As all the worlds storage is more massive combined can store more than dna of 60 trillion cells of a human body. All the world general purpose computers can execute more instructions per second than a human brain can execute nerve impulses per second. Global communication networks sends more bits than blood cells in a circulatory system of a human. Our capacities we can reach are reaching these huge numbers of

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1851): "...the world of matter had become a great nerve, vibrating thousands of miles in a breathless point of time? Rather, the round globe is a vast head, a brain, instinct with intelligence"

1876 - Scientific American (1880): "the scattered members of civilized communities will be as closely united so far as instant telephonic communication is concerned, as the various members of the body now are by the nervous system."

Aristotle in ~350 BC - famously argued democracy could obviously never be executed or travel more than 45 miles. Information couldn't travel more than that in one day. Therefore in one day it would not be able to travel that far.

In the 860's the pony express they began to spread more information from the east coast to the west coast 7~8 days for Abraham Lincoln to spread information.

The digital age changes the way to families stay in touch, economy works, labor market, revolutions government, culture production, entertainment, the way people fall in love, political influence, presidents and administration itself. It also changes education most importantly.

We can have more access to information and communication more than anyone that was the most informative 20 years ago.

It is a global phenomenon beyond everything we have ever created. A global network of breath taking complexity. Runs food, power, goods, transportation, and communication. We truly live in a interconnected society and they can help us in a more surprising way. They can also give us an insight into our future world.

Everything we do, we have it all recorded through the internet and that is why we have so much information. Data is 2 and half Quintilian bytes of data. 7-8 piles of cd-roms to the moon and it still might not be enough.

We can build a detailed picture of what present actions even will play out in the future as well.

In the mid-atlantic they started to carry this cable to each other to create the first trans-atlantic network. Harnassing electricity for communication between 2 countries the UK and the U.S. internationally. It was a way to communicate without sending anything.

Fast forward to today, and over half a million submarine fiber optic cable connects every continent on earth. This communications network has doubled in size in 5 years.

200 billion words travel every second through this new network. This network isn't confined to the ocean floor and over 35 million miles laced between the united states. The INTERNET.

The first printing stamps had been made. Printing press letter can be cast through metal/lead now w/ guttenberg's invention.

Makes printing 100x cheaper and gave people without education enabled to read and write.

Over the next 100 years the printing press becomes the newest way to share through books and newspaper.

Although the problem was they could only travel as quick as they could through foot or horse.

The electric telegraph was the biggest jump in communication it was carried through cables at the speed of light. It shortened the transmission time to days-weeks to seconds. Shrinking the size of the communication world to rather "nothing".

A thought or idea can be spread in an instant with today's communication network.

It's roots though come from the smallest innovation. Maitz Germany 1450.
