Digital technology is becoming an indispensable and crucial component of our lives, society and the environment. We present a framework for computing in the context of problems facing the planet. The framework has a number of goals: an optimal digital infrastructure, sensing and optimizing with a global world model, reliably predicting and reacting to our environment and providing digital alternatives to physical activities. This paper describes our vision in which data centres can scale power consumption in line with performance, run closer to the wire with reduced redundancy and behave as a ‘virtual battery’ dynamically using spare, or otherwise unusable, generation capacity from renewable sources. On a broader scale, we consider how global sensing might allow us to optimize our daily activities and lives. We highlight the issues and dilemmas inherent in the deployment of global sensing infrastructure and work towards our challenge of a personal energy meter as a tool for informing decisions and providing impetus for reducing the ecological footprint of our society.

The development of technology today makes it easier for humans in their daily activities. One of them is in the digital world. In the industrial era 4.0. more and more companies are issuing breakthrough new products based on digital technology that aim to be practical in their use. One of the technologies applied is the use of smart cards. For example in the use of smart keys in homes and car doors. Then in the current transaction process, many have implemented this smart card technology. The purpose of this research is to apply the latest technology in the energy transaction process which will be applied to the KWh meter. The smart card used is RFId and is integrated in the database and website so that its use is more practical and flexible. Then the use of this smart card can be applied to the smart energy meter so that later the prepaid energy transaction process can be applied easily with this smart energy meter.

<p class="Abstract">People, products, technology, and information have influenced each other since life began. History has shown that the work of art as a man-made product in the society receives influence from many different angles such as power and technology. That influence has grown bigger and wider as globalization expands. The development in the world of technology and information gives a different yet significant impact to people’s lives. What has happened in the increased global world leads to the formation of borderless society. The intertwined cultural identities became the root of the revolutionary changing in the reinvention of <i>kebaya</i> designs. The reproduction of <i>kebaya </i>designs shows that the designs have shifted from the main stream designs to the borderless designs. The old patterns of <i>kebaya</i> are modified by combining materials and new patterns that have never been appeared in the main stream <i>kebaya </i>designs.&nbsp; Based on the above explanation, this paper explores the reinvention of <i>kebaya</i> by Anne Avantie (Indonesian remarkable designer) and the rapid distribution of the copies in this digital technology era. The result of this study shows that the borderless <i>kebaya</i> designs are well accepted by the society.<span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

The most recent development of digital technology is rapidly growing having a strong impact in daily activities. Automation is a trend in society to make those activities become easier. Moreover, efficiency has played the main role in the automation concept. For example, when making a drink which requires to accurately mix all required ingredients, like sugar, tea, and also coffee, the process may take time. Meanwhile, other more important processes have waited to be carried out. The idea of fasten up these activities may be preferable, exemplified by making an automatic drink maker machine. Moreover, coffee has been popular drink fancied by most people on the society. Hence, due to the high load of the people’s activity, everything is required to be instant and efficient. According to this trend, to provide an efficient, easy, and good management, we need to create an automatic, fast, and accurate system control which can be implemented by using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Human-Machine Interface (HMI). Meanwhile, in this research, Omron PLC and HMI are utilized to build an automatic drink maker device of Vietnamese Drip Coffee designed to resolve the society’s needs of coffee with higher efficiency of serving process. The automatic coffee maker device of Vietnamese Drip Coffee based on PLC and HMI is a device designed to simplify the making process of Vietnamese Drip Coffee in hot condition. This device can be operated by only touching/tapping on its coffee menu choices. The design of this device has the main purpose to operate and test the control system based on PLC and HMI to control and monitoring the automatic process of producing Vietnamese Drip Coffee started from choosing the coffee types until mixing process.

The Aging and Technology special issue showcases twelve papers spanning a range and diversity of international scholarly research within the field of ageing and technology. The collection of papers demonstrates the positive impact technology can have on the lives of older people including improving cognitive performance, physical and mental health and people’s daily activities and practices. There are still barriers to use, including psychological issues of motivation, attitudes, privacy and trust and social issues involving learning to use the technology. In conclusion, to help overcome these barriers, it is recommended that research and development of technology involves older people as co-developers working with stakeholders from different disciplines and backgrounds.

The existence of digital technology should be able to provide a positive and productive impact, rather than the passive and negative one. Technology is enabler that facilitates ubiquitous all human activities both for personal gains and for the public and professional interests. This study aims to develop the DeanLEP application of the Faculty of Science and Technology of UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh. DeanLEP is an acronym for Dean Live Event Page Application that is used to assist the dean in monitoring all daily activities and performance in the faculty. Dean LEP Application contains information about the number of lecturers who teach in the current semester and academic year; recapitulation of active students, on leave students and alumni; lecturers' research, lecturers' ranks, employee permits and leave, study center, lecturers with additional assignments, guest lecturers and guest lectures, women's activities, and cooperatives. In addition to dynamic information updated at any time, Dean LEP Application also provides static information such as information on leaders, lecturers, staff, and contract workers of the faculty.

Abstract The purpose of this article is to provide clinical supervisors with information pertaining to state-of-the-art clinic observation technology. We use a novel video-capture technology, the Landro Play Analyzer, to supervise clinical sessions as well as to train students to improve their clinical skills. We can observe four clinical sessions simultaneously from a central observation center. In addition, speech samples can be analyzed in real-time; saved on a CD, DVD, or flash/jump drive; viewed in slow motion; paused; and analyzed with Microsoft Excel. Procedures for applying the technology for clinical training and supervision will be discussed.
