The purpose of this paper is to examine current positions in literature with regards to computer education and future jobs related to computer usage.The expansion of the use of computers has made computer literacy as essential as the basic skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Morf related the rapid expansion in the use of computers as follows: Among the more widely accepted scenarios of the future at work are those based on the assumption that technology will continue to grow exponentially (1983, p. 24). Therefore, as technology grows, our educational programs must incorporate the new knowledge necessary to function in the world of the information age. As Hart stated: We must prepare now to respond to the new technologies that will shape our future (1983, p. 11).

The relevance of the work is due to the fact that modern companies are faced with the need to “have” a new vision and new knowledge, creating on their basis innovative products and technologies necessary to be successful in the modern market. At the same time, higher education institutions are interested in improving educational programs and bringing them closer to the needs of employers in order to “grow” and release young professionals in demand in the labor market. The article deals with the mechanisms and tools related to the implementation of practice-oriented vocational education in order to prepare competitive graduates in the framework of cooperation between universities and specialized organizations in the region. The results of the study of the level of professional training from the position of graduates are given. The article justifi es the necessity of development of the project on introduction of new technologies in the process of organization of practice, the purpose of which is the creation of a modular system of practice-oriented education throughout the students at the University.

Computers have become an integral part of our society, as seen for example, in twenty-four-hour banks, computerized bills and paychecks, computer-assisted learning, computerized medical diagnosis and care, and computerized appliances. Since such diverse applications of computers are already commonplace and promise to increase in the future, it is important that our educational programs inform and prepare students with respect to the potential capability of computer systems as well as for the direct implications they have on our lives.

Belgrade School of Electrochemistry is not made of institutions, building, not even the community. It is made of people and their knowledge, achievements and results. It has no date of establishment nor defined start, and we hope it also won?t have an end. It was created as a result of several decades of scientists? efforts to accumulate knowledge and pass it on to future generations, to contribute with their research and results, to conquer new knowledge and advance the society as a whole. Its initiators and founders were not aware that they are starting something that will become recognised on a global level in the field of electrochemical science, they even didn?t want that ? they were simply devoted to their science and they tried to pass that devotion on to the future generations. The name Belgrade School of Electrochemistry appeared in the global electrochemical community even before we ourselves became aware of it, as a term which, first of all, defines one of the most important centres of electrochemical science in the world, and most definitely, the largest and the most developed in this part of Europe. It equally relates to the system of education and the importance and influence of the results and achieved knowledge of the scientists who originated from the Belgrade University on the world of electrochemistry.

Forces have converged to produce stunning new technologies and the Information Age. As a result, we experience unanticipated consequences. Among the implications of this transition are a variety of ethical predicaments. This chapter introduces a process of conceptual framing. We classify this work as the inspection and consideration of our conceptual frameworks. We move from doubt about our current frameworks toward better ones. The way to make this transition is to render beliefs into ideas and then compare those ideas. Nevertheless, there is always an imperfect alignment of ideas with lived reality, so we must avoid dogmatic closure. The ethics predicaments we face are in actuality an ill-defined “mess” of multiple problems, the solutions to which affect one another. In response, we consider the processes of design for the future in the face of such ill-defined ethics problems.

Globalization: A Very Short Introduction looks at the interconnected and accelerated processes changing how we see and experience the world. Is globalization really a new phenomenon? Is increased connection between people and nations inevitable, or are we witnessing the beginning of an era of ‘deglobalization’ or ‘anti-globalization’? Updated with new developments including advancing climate change, the Trump presidency, and the Mexico–USA border, this VSI explores the history and impact of globalization. Chapters on the cultural, economic, political, and ecological dimensions of globalization investigate the impact of new technologies, economic deregulation, and mass migration on our world and consider what we might expect from the future of globalization.

The article attempts to analyze the development of the world community and ordinary people in the context of the creation and development of new technologies, especially 5G and 5D. The article presents a historical analysis of their development and formation, as well as possible prospects for their influence on us not only in the near future, but also in the future to come. At the same time, the author in the article focuses on the fact whether we are ready for this future, and whether we created it or are ready to quickly create a "safety cushion", i.e. "information security", both of a personal and public nature.

Abstract The progress of artificial intelligence and new technologies triggers hot debates about the future of human life. While fans of the singularity say that artificial intelligence will become smarter than human beings and should take over the world, for others, such a vision is a sheer nightmare. Douglas Rushkoff is clearly part of the second group and takes a passionate pro-human stance. He explains why giving too much way to technologies is a mistake and why humans deserve a place in the digital future. Already today, technologies have a much stronger impact on our lives than most of us would believe. For him, being human is a team sport, and he asks for a more conscious use of technologies while keeping rapport with other people. To safeguard the humanness in a tech world, he advises to carefully select the values we embed in our algorithms. Rather than serving perpetual growth, technologies ought to help people reconnect with each other and their physical surroundings.

International organisations and the future of work: How new technologies and inequality shaped the narratives in 2019

The Future

In a critical review of seven prominent flagship reports from five international organisations – the International Labour Organization (ILO), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and World Bank – this article explores how the policy narratives set out during 2019 and early 2020 have characterised the major future of work challenges associated with new technologies and inequality. It identifies some similarities in viewpoints, including about the unevenness of job changes caused by new technologies and about the declining labour income share, a key measure of inequality. However, there are major points of differentiation. The ILO, OECD and UNDP express serious concerns about the interaction between new technologies and growing inequalities, on the one hand, and a rise in precarious work, concentration of corporate power and erosion of labour bargaining power on the other. Also, UNIDO emphasises the inequalities in technological capacities between developed and developing countries, which make it difficult for markets to distribute the gains from growth evenly. While the World Bank makes some concessions, it remains less open to real-world heterodox evidence about how labour markets function in society. The World Bank aside, there is a growing consensus that labour institutions around the world need to be reinvigorated in order to respond to the challenges facing the future of work.

The Way

Several factors will be important in determining the future of the intensive livestock industry. One is the way in which world population changes. Today, there are about 5.9 billion people in the world, 800 million of whom are hungry. In the future, the world population is expected to stabilize somewhere between 8 and 11 billion. Food production will have to increase by at least 40%, and maybe as much as 80%, to meet this increase. The demand for meat from feedlot cattle and intensively reared pigs and poultry is likely to rise. A second influence is the way investments are made in new technologies. Today's investments will yield tomorrow's technologies, and we should be able to identify some imminent changes by examining present venture capital investment portfolios. Another factor is the attitude that the large corporate meat and livestock companies have towards their industry. These large companies control and own a large part of the industry, and their attitudes and business structure help to determine the behaviour of the rest of the industry. Their behaviour is being affected by public attitudes towards big business and modern technologies. This paper focuses on some of the up-and-coming technologies within the context of that social and business structure. The technologies and potential changes described in this paper are new animal feed technologies, growth hormone transgenics, livestock breeding, nutraceuticals, livestock pharmaceuticals, segregated early weaning, legislation on biotechnology, the structure of the intensive livestock industry, and public attitudes towards biotechnology and the intensive livestock industry.
