Since the mid-1990s, our society has substantially advanced digital technologies and their continuous and through integration into people's daily lives. In just a couple of decades, our society has gone from being technically primitive to one of the most advanced in the world (Frey, 2015). Digital technologies have consequently expanded the boundaries of our social circles, and new forms of digital technologies, such as social media and digital platforms, have become parts of our cultural activities. In fact, people do not only use social network sites to keep in touch with friends, but also use them to enjoy certain television drams and popular music. Digital technologies have also changed politics as the users are encouraged to tweet, text, or call in to vote for contestants in everything from reality competition shows to matchmaking endeavours-bridging the gap between our entertainment and our own lives. In the networked 21st century, digital technologies and the media are interwoven, and neither can be separated from contemporary society in most developed and developing nations. By tweeting or uploading people's news and images, the circle of communication is wider than ever (McGivern, 2013). Meanwhile, digital technologies have become some of the most significant tools in the global economy due to their roles as new growth engines for the economy and culture.

Arabic And English

Up to the end of the twentieth century, Arabic and English have played an important role as the media for communication all over the world.  Both languages are significantly used in not only national but also global scopes. Millions of people in the world today use either passive or active Arabic and/or English in their daily lives. The question is,’ will the global community in the 21st century still put these international languages in a position as important as it is today?’  Trends in the use of languages in the world can be viewed from several different aspects, among which are the economic strength of a language and the demography of language  users. Although so far there has been no fixed agreement on the criteria of a language to be called as “the world language” yet, there is a tendency that by mid 21st  century there will be trends in the world’s language domination and hierarchy. The trends will also involve the global use of Arabic and English. The two languages are predicted to still have an essential position as the world’s major languages and therefore will be used globally.  The use of Arabic and English is strongly predicted to undergo a transition in a positive way. In addition to that, it is not impossible that by mid 21st century, there will be a tendency of bilingual education (using foreign languages in presenting non-linguistic school subjects) spreading in the world’s urban areas, including those areas in Indonesia.

In the 21st century, the world became a sign of globalization: global conflicts, global disasters, global economy, global Internet, etc. The Polish researcher Casimir Zhigulsky defines globalization as a kind of process, that is, the target set of characteristic changes that develop over time and occur in the modern world. These changes in general are reduced to mutual rapprochement, reduction of distances, the rapid appearance of a large number of different connections, contacts, exchanges, and to increase the dependence of society in almost all spheres of his life from what is happening in other, often very remote regions of the world.

Internetization is a new word and concept that has gained currency with the advent of the new global economy of the 21st century. Prior to the ascendance of internetization, economists had embraced the term globalization to describe the operational parameters of the new economy. The problem with the word globalization is that it is neither a new concept nor is it an appropriate descriptive for the contemporary transformational change precipitated by the spectacular technological inventions on the international economic landscape. The new word, internetization, describes more succinctly the transformative powers of the world wide web and the electronic information highway on the evolving dynamics of interconnectivity for the new global economy of the 21st century. Indeed, internetization captures the pervasive influence of technological change and electronic innovations on the global economy and all aspects of human endeavor for our civil society in the 21st century.

O presente estudo versa sobre as possibilidades das tecnologias digitais para a sociabilidade de jovens estudantes nas escolas do campo no Brasil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa hermenêutica adorniana que pensa a partir dos jovens do campo que vivem nas zonas rurais, na tentativa de buscar melhores condições de vida e de acesso aos bens culturais para que as juventudes possam se manifestar e recriar coletivamente. Refletimos sobre a oportunidade de a educação em convergência com as tecnologias digitais superar a lógica colonialista de mercado e de ciência predominante na sociedade contemporânea, como condição de formar e promover o exercício da autocrítica e da cidadania dos jovens estudantes do campo. Nesse sentido, evidencia-se a importância de uma educação que proporcione aos professores e estudantes momentos de conhecimento e reflexão crítica sobre as tecnologias digitais, para que se reconheçam e sejam reconhecidos enquanto atores em seus contextos, tornando as escolas do campo um espaço privilegiado para reflexões pedagógicas, ao tencionar formas hegemônicas de pensar e agir no mundo. Concluímos que é importante problematizar o formato e a ideologia das propostas de inserção de tecnologias digitais nas escolas do campo, considerando-as não somente como mais uma ferramenta programada para uma população supostamente carente de saberes, mas que, além de proporcionar o acesso ao conhecimento produzido pela humanidade, possam impulsionar a comunicação e a criação de redes que fortaleçam as reivindicações dos sujeitos do campo.Palavras-chave: Tecnologias digitais; Escolas do Campo; Juventudes. ABSTRACT: This study deals with the possibilities of digital technologies for the sociability of young students in rural schools in Brazil. It is an Advenian hermeneutic research that thinks from the young people of the countryside who live in rural areas, in an attempt to seek better living conditions and access to cultural assets so that youths can manifest and recreate collectively. We reflect on the opportunity for education in convergence with digital technologies to overcome the colonialist logic of market and science prevalent in contemporary society, as a condition to form and promote the exercise of self-criticism and citizenship of young students of the field. In this sense, it is evident the importance of an education that provides teachers and students with moments of knowledge and critical reflection on digital technologies, so that they recognize themselves and are recognized as actors in their contexts, making the countryside schools a privileged space for pedagogical reflections, in the hegemonic ways of thinking and acting in the world. We conclude that it is important to problematize the format and the ideology of the proposals of insertion of digital technologies in the rural schools, considering them not only as another programmed tool for a population supposedly lacking in knowledge, but which, besides providing access to knowledge produced by humanity, can boost communication and the creation of networks that strengthen the claims of the subjects of the countryside.Keywords: Digital technologies; Countryside schools; Youth.

Corona virus 2019 (COVID-2019), has first appeared in Wuhan, China in December 2019, spread around the world rapidly causing thousands of fatalities. It is caused a devastating result in our daily lives, public health, and also the global economy. It is important to sight the positive cases as early as possible therefore forestall any unfoldment of this epidemic and to quickly treat affected patients. The necessity for auxiliary diagnostic tools has increased as there aren't any accurate automated toolkits available. Recent findings obtained using radiology imaging techniques suggest that such images contain salient information about the COVID-19 virus. Coupling deep learning techniques with radiological imaging may end up within the accurate detection of this disease. This assistance will help to beat the matter of an absence of specialized physicians in the remote villages.
