Can you help bridge the gap between "humies & techies"?
In this informative and thoughtful video, George Metakides of the Digital Enlightenment Forum shares the talk he presented in Bucharest this summer. Addressing the eleventh international conference on Information Technology and Quantitative Management (ITQM 2024), Georges gives us an often underappreciated view of not only the Internet and World Wide Web, but also the lessons we SHOULD have learned from the growth of social media.
Yes, today's internet contains all human knowledge, but "a lot of garbage too". Were we too optimistic and neglected the warnings? Remember, Twittter was once considered for a Nobel Peace Prize.... The need for clear thinking is real, and we can be a light as darkness encroaches, so find your voice and contribute to discussions about OUR digital future.
Can you help bridge the gap between "humies and techies"? Watch George's talk, explore the books and thinkers he shares with us, and answer the call to action to seek out and join groups promoting our rights in a digital future.
The Digital Humanism Initiative, Technology profoundly shapes the world we live in, and the stakes are high. Digital Humanism deals with digital technology development and policies based on human rights, democracy, inclusion, and diversity.
