Guitar synthesizers gained prevalence in the 1980s thanks to the work of guitarists such as Pat Metheny, John McLaughlin, and Allan Holdsworth. This chapter explores how the guitar synthesizer challenged prevailing ideologies of technology, technique, and tone in the guitar community and was ultimately a commercial failure. It traces a brief history of the electric guitar and the synthesizer and their subsequent conjoining. The chapter discusses three cases in detail: Metheny’s use of the Roland GR-300, McLaughlin’s use of the Synclavier II, and Holdsworth’s use of the SynthAxe. The chapter concludes with an examination of the critical reception of the guitar synthesizer and speculates about the future of technological synthesis across the analog/digital divide.

This chapter examines the nature of digital divide in Turkey. To this end, after a brief summary of the literature, first, the dimensions of digital divide in the country are explained. Then, various initiatives by the government, private firms, NGOs, and international organizations to combat digital divide are presented. Next, in the discussion section, issues for further discussion regarding digital divide in Turkey are listed. The chapter ends with the examination of the issues regarding the future prospects for overcoming digital divide in Turkey and developing countries elsewhere.

Hughes Plane

We construct a family of unitals in the Hughes plane. We prove that they are not isomorphic with the classical unitals, and in so doing we exhibit a configuration that exists in the latter, but not in the former. This new configurational property of the classical unitals might serve in the future again as an isomorphism test.A particular instance of our construction has appeared in [11]. But it only concerns itself with the case where the matrix involved is the identity, whereas the present article treats the general case of symmetric matrices over a suitable field. Furthermore, [11] does not answer the isomorphism question. It states that (the English translation is ours) “It remains to be seen whether the unitary designs constructed in this note are isomorphic or not with known designs”.

Abstract.Since the invention of internet ,the first at transpose the innovations are always been the “new” (puoi mettere young che é più simile alla traduzione italiana) generation; that are comprise in a range of 19 to 35 years of age, while the over 65 are always been considered bearers of digital dividing. In reality, if is investigated so careful the period of the last 30 years, it results a very interesting evolutionary framework. The article suggest an investigation of internet’s development in the last few years,analyzing also the use of the over 65,and looking to the future perspectives. Furthermore submit a research undertaken for the purpose to better investigate the motivations that prompt this society’s age range (from 65 to 75 years old) at the use of the new media, and what can be the new healthy’s implications that occurs from this.Key words: Elderly , mobile , computer , communication , innovation , internetRiassuntoFin dalla nascita di internet le prime a recepire le innovazioni sono sempre state le generazioni “Giovani”, comprese in un range di età che va da 19 ai 35 anni, mentre gli over 65 sono stati considerati sempre portatori di digital divide. In realtà se s’indaga in modo attento l’arco temporale degli ultimi 30 anni si determina un quadro evolutivo molto interessante. L’articolo avanza un esame dello sviluppo di internet negli ultimi anni, analizzando la fruizione degli over 65 e guardando alle prospettive future. Presenta inoltre una ricerca intrapresa al fine di indagare meglio sulle motivazioni che spingono questa fascia della società (dai 65 ai 75 anni) all’utilizzo dei nuovi media e quali possono essere le implicazioni di ordine salutistico che ne conseguono.Parole chiave: Anziano, cellulare, computer, comunicazione, innovazione, internet

The Covid-19 or Coronavirus pandemic has changed millions of lives globally. It has impacted educational environment unprecedentedly. The education is integral component to the personal and societal growth. Closures of educational institutions have several implications as the schools are not only places of learning but ensure nutrition, safety and hope for the future. India’s diverse and layered society has always required a strong public education system for universalization of education without any discrimination. Most of the institutions switched to the online mode of learning according to their resources and saved millions of learning days. However, faced with new realities it could be said that online educations has serious limitations as well. The pandemic has revealed the digital divide distinctly. It has also underlined the need of more public investment in education and better preparedness for uncertainties. The paper examines the unfolding educational environments based on the analysis of data retrieved from the global studies with a view to make the most of the situation and set new tone of development for the future.

In the current appendix are presented the results of a heuristic study about the lack of educational control related to the new technologies and the future generations, especially children. A set of examples make known the real factors which increase the digital divide among the European population of 2020. Finally, a heuristic equation is presented to detect quickly and easily the professionals who currently tend to be misleading in their interactive design for children.

Aging Adults

Abstract While it took over 70 years for the telephone to reach 50% of U.S. households, it took only 14 years for the cellphone, and 6 years for the MP3 player. Aging takes place in the context of a rapidly evolving technological landscape. What are the implications of such radical and rapid changes for how we age? And how can existing and emerging technologies help support aging adults’ health, wellbeing, social connectivity, and cognition? This talk will explore these issues, starting with the “digital divide” between younger and older adults, the reasons for this divide, and interventions to close the gap. The potential of emerging technologies to support older adults will be summarized, as well as potential pitfalls in the design and implementation of these technologies. The talk will conclude with speculation on the future of the digital divide and whether it can ever be entirely eliminated.
