The growing penetration of mobile telephony in Africa reflects arguably the continent's increasing embeddedness into the concourses of the rapidly evolving global high technology environment. The mobile telephony sphere in Africa therefore holds the greatest potential for connecting people, government, business, and the third sector in the ways contemplated by the idea of societies in which knowledge creation, manipulation, storage, and transmission is central for growth and development. It should be clear then that the sophistication of mobile telephony policy takes on a peculiar salience for Africa's high technological leap in the coming decades. This chapter argues that the recent emergence of telecommunication chambers in African countries must be seen as a key loop in crafting mobile telephony policies that respond deftly to current developmental challenges and positions Africa for the future. Focusing on existing African telchambs, the chapter surveys their emergence, analyzes the empirics of their interface with policymakers, and provides directions for the future.

“Ambient intelligence” (AmI) refers to both a theoretical and a practical orientation of technology, involving the most innovative areas of the ICT sector. Recognized as a powerful trend, Ambient Intelligence has an increasing impact in several domains of our contemporary society, the so-called “knowledge society”. Let us look at the two words “ambient” and “intelligence”. Today we often use the attribute intelligent or smart referring to artifacts that show “a behavior”, have “a memory”, appear to take nontrivial “initiatives”. Take, for instance, a smartphone, which is able, when there is an incoming call, to put up on the screen the image of our correspondent. The “intelligence” in the words “Ambient Intelligence” precisely refers to those special embedded capabilities of certain things around us, capabilities that we are not aware of until they come into action. The word ambient, means “existing in the surrounding space” and signals that there is a particular diffused property of such a space. It has an essential charateristic, which is neither explicit nor obtrusive, but widely exploited by our Knowledge Society: the capability to transmit information without the need of wires (wireless communications). Like its underlying technologies, Ambient Intelligence is an expanding, evolving concept, projected far into the future.

Many cities in the world define themselves as ‘smart.' Is this term appropriate for cities in the emergent Gulf region? This article investigates seven Gulf cities (Kuwait City, Manama, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and Muscat) that have once grown rich due to large reserves of oil and gas. Now, with the threat of ending resources, governments focus on the development towards a knowledge society. The authors analyzed the cities in terms of their ‘smartness' or ‘informativeness' by a quantitative survey and by in-depth qualitative interviews (N = 34). Especially Doha in Qatar is well on its way towards an informational city, but also Dubai and Sharjah (both in the United Arab Emirates) make good scores.

This article aims to conduct studies to build character history for life in the younger generation through conservation education of cultural heritage perspective combined with the syntax of contex-learn inquiry. The method used in this article is the lybrary reserach method in which the object studied in this study comes from books, notes, journals, transcripts, research reports and other documents that can be found and related to conservative learning, character, history, etc. the techniques used to collect data with documentation, the researchers identify the discourse of books, papers or articles, magazines, journals, newspapers, web (internet), or other information related to conservative learning, character, history or directly related to the title of writing. after the data collected then the data is analyzed to obtain conclusions, forms in descriptive analysis techniques. The conclusion of this research indicates the importance to immediately apply conservation education in changing mindset and behavior in order to form character history for life especially for the young generation. Given the life of the era of globalization requires a young generation of the future that has three characteristics of knowledge or knowledge society, cultured or cultured society, and civilized or civilized society.

Education Transformation

Education of the future is a fundamental challenge of the present time that de­fines a horizon of thinking of society and about society. The knowledge society stepping into the role of a horizon brings the substance of the matter to the ability of education to cultivate the creative function of thinking. From the ontological point of view, this article deals with the problem of the education transformation from reproductive to productive forms of working with knowledge (the repro­ductive-productive transition). The prevailing reproductive model of modern ed­ucation is a class-and-lesson (or lecture-seminar) system. Institutionalization of class-and-lesson education in the Reformation years in the XVI c. is ana­lyzed, and key didactic and organizational principles laid down in its basis by Ph. Melanchton are identified. Arguments are presented against qualification of educators in the age of Reformation as humanists. The concept of epistemic dominant is introduced for the purpose of explaining the education transforma­tion process. It is shown that the reproductive-productive transition belongs to the essence of our time. The stability of the class-and-lesson system can be ex­plained by resting on an essential part of educational universals that are timeless in nature. Based on the theory of non-Kuhn’s paradigms, the relationship be­tween the reproductive-productive transition and a shift in the ontological foun­dations of the education phenomenon as to its forms, ways, functions, and gener­alization of its being is shown.

This paper examines the problems foreign students face in university cities. This aspect seems to be especially important in the formation of a city branding strategy in the context of a “knowledge society”. The university city in this context is considered as an intellectual and social component of the image of the future of the country and a promising direction of the Siberian frontier.

The Right

Challenged by new technology, copyright is currently in turmoil. Increasingly regarded by the general public as a curb to the universal dissemination of knowledge, it seems to have no alternative but to include access to information in order to meet the challenges posed by the knowledge society.3 It might even be its ability to bring together opposing but complementary views that will guaranty its durability in the future and whether it can adapt to a new economic, technological and social environment. Copyright law has shown a remarkable ability to adapt to new developments in the past and has the necessary tools to ensure that this continues to be the case in the future, although the massive technological changes will probably require rethinking the mechanisms for its implementation. It is, therefore, necessary not to think in terms of opposing rights, but of the complementary nature of copyright and the right of access to information, so as to reconcile the two, which is both necessary and desirable. The issue of how to accommodate those two rights is of course of particular importance for libraries that wish to use the fantastic opportunities of digital technologies to both preserve and make accessible works in a easy and cost effective way to the public. Conceiving an optimal legal framework, allowing digital libraries to expand while at the same time securing a fair return to creators and editors might therefore constitutes one of the main challenges for copyright in the digital age. Accordingly, it will be necessary, first of all, to reiterate a number of basic principles of copyright law and carry out a brief historical survey. A study will then need to be carried out of how the advent of the information society has changed the existing balances. This will be followed by a brief discussion of recent developments in the legal provisions currently in force. This in turn would lead us to consider both the changes necessary to those provisions to ensure better access to information as well as certain initiatives that are either under way or planned, with the aim of striking a balance between the interests involved.
