Technology And Communities
Visão Geral
A nurse finishing a night shift in Abu Dhabi opens a video call and helps her daughter in Manila with homework she will never see handed in. A patient group scattered across nine countries compares symptoms of a disease so rare that none of them has ever met another sufferer in person. Communities used to be the people you could walk to. Increasingly they are the people you can reach.
This lesson looks at how communications technology holds communities together across borders, at the sharply divided views on what artificial intelligence, bionics and remote healthcare are doing to community life, and at a new class of threats, identity theft, malicious software and attacks on essential services, that arrive from outside a country's jurisdiction and are extremely difficult to answer.
Objetivos
- The role of communications technology in international community building, using an example of a migrant or diaspora population
- New opportunities and threats for communities, including differing views on developments such as artificial intelligence or bionics, healthcare and/or other support services
- New and emerging threats to communities across national boundaries, such as identity theft, computer viruses and cyberterrorism
