The effect of technological substitution is considered as a central link in technological development, ensuring the transition of the economy to a new level of productivity, which forms the rules of agent behavior and new requirements for their knowledge and training. The mechanism by which a new technology, in particular, digital technology, is able to act as a kind of rule, subordinating and transforming other rules of agent behavior and economic activity, is shown.

In most developed countries university students use digital technologies and the Internet in all facets of their daily life. These students represent the first generation to grow up with this new technology and have been given various names that emphasize its affinity and tendency to use digital technology such as digital natives, Net generation and Millennials. Given the lack of empirical support for the notion of a “digital generation”, this study presents a different perspective of what these learners think about their use of digital technologies for academic and social purposes and how they feel about the “Digital Native Generation” phenomenon. This study examines this issue in depth to gain an understanding of what the growing use of new digital technologies means for teaching and learning in higher education.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Digital technology has become an integral part of healthcare and will revolutionize the practice of medicine. Although previously the administrative tasks were captured by digital technologies, now the communication channels with the patients are also being focused. For example, taking medical histories is now made possible by this new technology, information and explanatory forms can be sent digitally, and even face-to-face consultations are increasingly made possible by video consultations. Especially in the COVID pandemic, this form of contactless encounter has become a valuable enrichment of medical care. But also telemedical tasks such as teleconsultation or artificial intelligence in the context of adenoma detection are techniques that are conquering outpatient and inpatient visceral medical care. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> This article gives an overview of digital communication and possible uses of digital technologies in medical practices in Germany. <b><i>Key Message:</i></b> Medicine is renewing itself through digital techniques. The pace of change is rapid and unstoppable. Today’s medical progress is no longer conceivable without these techniques.

Legal professionals increasingly rely on digital technologies when they provide legal services. The most advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) promise great advancements of legal services, but lawyers are traditionally not educated in the field of digital technology and thus cannot fully unlock the potential of such technologies in their practice. In this paper, we identify five distinct skills and knowledge gaps that prevent lawyers from implementing AI and digital technology in the provision of legal services and suggest concrete models for education and training in this area. Our findings and recommendations are based on a series of semi-structured interviews, design and delivery of an experimental course in ‘Law and Computer Science’, and an analysis of the empirical data in view of wider debates in the literature concerning legal education and 21st century skills.

Describing contemporary geospatial requires an appropriate amount of information. That is “smart” information, which in turn requires “smart” infrastructure, created using modern digital technologies. The circular dependency occurs: alone digital technology and communication means themselves influence the geoospatial, making the world smaller and creating fierce competition among industry players. New geospatial technologies give the opportunity of a three-dimensional map trackicg of accommodation and calculating the possible actions of potential competitors. One of the elements of the new technology is the so-called “hexagonal geospatial technology” that helps to understand the meaning of the dynamically changing world. These technologies have successfully been used for creating “smart” cities and functioning of urban agglomerations. The purpose of the paper is to show the possibilities of geospatial technologies and problems associated with their use. The author used the materials of the jhournals “Geospatial World” and “Hexagon geospatial”.

Today knowledge and information have become accessible to a larger number of people than ever before in the history of mankind. Along with the provision of new and broad opportunities, this circumstance harbors a high risk. The exchange of knowledge and technology requires effective management, in which unprecedented changes will occur both in the global economy in general and in individual countries, mainly those that can competently regulate the processes of acquiring and disposing of these resources. Information and telecommunication technologies are the axis of the modern technological revolution. The future of countries, businesses and people is more than ever related to whether they will be able to use digital technology or not. This article examines the readiness of the EAEU member states and countries of other regional economic unions to use new technologies and convert digital technologies into capital, which allowed to reveal the comparative advantages in the aspect of technological readiness of each regional union.

Purpose The aim of this study was to examine how hearing aid candidates perceive user-driven and app-controlled hearing aids and the effect these concepts have on traditional hearing health care delivery. Method Eleven adults (3 women, 8 men), recruited among 60 participants who had completed a research study evaluating an app-controlled, self-fitting hearing aid for 12 weeks, participated in a semistructured interview. Participants were over 55 years of age and had varied experience with hearing aids and smartphones. A template analysis was applied to data. Results Five themes emerged from the interviews: (a) prerequisites to the successful implementation of user-driven and app-controlled technologies, (b) benefits and advantages of user-driven and app-controlled technologies, (c) barriers to the acceptance and use of user-driven and app-controlled technologies, (d) beliefs that age is a significant factor in how well people will adopt new technology, and (e) consequences that flow from the adoption of user-driven and app-controlled technologies. Specifically, suggested benefits of the technology included fostering empowerment and providing cheaper and more discrete options, while challenges included lack of technological self-efficacy among older adults. Training and support were emphasized as necessary for successful adaptation and were suggested to be a focus of audiologic services in the future. Conclusion User perceptions of user-driven and app-controlled hearing technologies challenge the audiologic profession to provide adequate support and training for use of the technology and manufacturers to make the technology more accessible to older people.

In the article, from the standpoint of reasons and necessity, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the key trends in the development of the stock market in Russia are disclosed. The leading role is assigned to the processes of computerization of the exchange market: the introduction and use of digital technologies that ensure the financial stability of the financial market as a whole, its security and transparency, as well as access of a large circle of investors to banking and financial operations, and the protection of their interests. It has been established that the processes of introducing and using digital technologies, organically built into the mechanism of the functioning of the securities market as a whole, determine the directions of development of such trends as innovations, diversification of stock market instruments, securitization, integration with international stock markets, etc. key trends influenced by the technological development of the stock market, lead to blurring the boundaries between the primary and secondary markets.

This chapter reviews prior work on technology acceptance and then reports on a nationally representative survey of UK employees exploring both employee’s personal experiences of digital technologies at home and work and their evaluations of the effectiveness of the technologies and the “digital culture” in their organization. Presenting the results of 3040 UK workers, it seeks to explore the factors that influence digital roll-outs by focusing on the experiences and perceptions of the UK workforce as a whole, with the expectation that introducing new technology alone isn’t enough. This research explores how “digitally ready” organizations are in the UK in terms of people, processes, and company culture. It concludes that a large proportion of the UK workforce are not seeing the benefits of digital technologies. Importantly, there is a need for organizations to understand that making digital solutions a success is a process of cultural change in their organization.

Abstract In this essay, I offer a brief history of manuscript cataloguing and some observations on the innovations this practice introduced especially in the digital form. This history reveals that as the cataloguing of medieval manuscripts developed over time, so did the research needs it served. What was often considered traditional cataloguing practices had to be mediated to accommodate new scholarly advance, posing interesting questions, for example, on what new technologies can bring to this discussion. In the digital age, in particular, how do digital catalogues interact with their analogue counterparts? What skills and training are required of scholars interacting with this new technology? To this end, I will consider the importance of the digital environment to enable a more flexible approach to cataloguing. I will also discuss new insights into digital projects, especially the experience accrued by the The Production and Use of English Manuscripts 1060 to 1220 Project, and then propose that in the future cataloguing should be adaptable and shareable, and make full use of the different approaches to manuscripts generated by collaboration between scholars and librarians or the work of postgraduate students and early career researchers.
