Agriculture is the art of cultivation on soil. Agriculture acts as the evolution in the rise of human civilization, whereby farming local species created food supplies that enabled people to live in cities. E-agriculture is recent term in the field of agriculture and rural development practices. It is the global body of practice where people exchange information and ideas related to the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The issue faced by the farmers in today’s world is that they are not getting enough credits for their own crops. The middleman takes all credits in between the communication. Here, we develop a mobile app that establishes direct communication in between the merchant and the farmer with no middleman in act.

Role Of Information

If we want to convert our rural population into knowledge driven, progressive, self sufficient, self reliant, sustainable society, the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) cannot be ignored. Timely availability information is considered as most important factor in Indian agriculture. At present ICT is the technology of this millennium. Transferring the developed technology to all end users is time-consuming and tiresome task and is often not completed due to paucity of resources and lack of manpower. In India, agriculture and rural development has gained significantly from ICT due to its widespread extension and adoption. In this era of internet, ICT is committed to provide real, timely accurate authentic information to the farmers and rural peoples.

The objective of this study is to identify the current state of, and the prospects for, information and communication technologies (ICT) dissemination in rural areas in Ukraine in juxtaposition with other post-transition countries. The spread of ICT is discussed within the frame of economic, infrastructural, and social factors affecting rural areas in Ukraine since the post-communist transition period. Information and communication technologies may support the socio-economic development of peripheral areas in many ways—including rural ones. Dissemination of ICT contributes to the emergence of sources of income, equalizes education opportunities, and increases the attractiveness of rural areas. However, the rural—urban divide in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and other former USSR countries is still remarkable and, as a type of structural inequality, should be better recognized. The source material is based on secondary data, which consists of selected literature on the subject of rural development in Central and Eastern European Countries, strategic documents, available reports and studies of international institutions, research from agencies, state documents and statistics, and research conducted by international and domestic NGOs. In reference to the paper’s objective, the method of content analysis was employed. Dissemination of ICT in rural areas in Ukraine is influenced by two groups of factors. The infrastructural divide concerning Internet access between rural and urban populations in Ukraine has been diminishing, but the issue of structural exclusion due to place of residence has still not been solved. As far as the social aspects of ICT dissemination in rural areas in Ukraine are concerned, the level of digital literacy among rural dwellers is significantly lower in comparison to urban residents. Rural areas are more exposed to the consequences of various aspects of digital exclusion.

This paper describes Smiling Earth, a mobile app to increase citizens’ awareness about their own carbon footprint, by integrating energy and transport-related data. The main aim of our work is to explore the ways in which Information and Communication Technologies could help raise awareness and educate and motivate citizens about their actions and their consequences on the environment. Smiling Earth provides feedback to users by visualising data about their daily activities with the aim to motivate citizens to change their behaviour to reduce their CO2 emissions by adopting a healthier lifestyle. The value of the Smiling Earth for individuals, cities and communities is discussed. The feedback from an expert evaluation and how Smiling Earth could contribute to Positive Energy Districts are also discussed.

Physical Spaces

Over recent decades, cities have been radically transformed by information and communication technologies (ICTs) that modify people’s daily lives by reorganising mobility, infrastructure systems and physical spaces. However, in addition to the role that technology plays in the development of the infrastructure in our cities, it is also being used ‘as a means of control’. This view of technology as a disciplinary tool that restructures space, time and the relations among activities has been promoted by scholars who have shown that technology is also a means of saturating and sustaining contemporary capitalist societies and deepening inequalities. However, the situation is far more complex than that. Technology is not only used top-down but also bottom-up, with individuals using technological devices to share and enhance their visibility in space. This bidirectional paradigm – of vertical surveillance and horizontal sharing – contributes to a sense of ‘being exposed’ in public space that normalises practices of sharing personal data by individuals and thus results in diminished privacy. This argument is supported by an experiment conducted on smartphone users that includes personal interviews and the use of a smartphone Android application that combines online tracking with experience sampling. The findings show a convergence between the online and offline worlds (a ‘public’ situation in the offline world is also considered as such in the online world), which is a condition that contributes to the normalisation of ‘asymmetrical visibility’. Based on these results, the paper ends with a discussion of the contemporary meaning of public space.

Role And Function

The article contains the analysis of the role and function of information and communication technologies in contemporary models of innovative educational processes based on theoretical and empirical studies. Information and communication technologies are defined as a set of tools and methods for obtaining, collecting, analytic and synthetic processing, storage and dissemination of information used in the management of socio-pedagogical systems. It was found that the network, integrative, fast learning and knowledge sharing models of innovative processes create information and communication environment allowing quickly and effectively exchange information. The experience of scientific-methodical and information support of innovations is outlined.

Modern information and communication technologies such as the Internet and Smart phones are revolutionizing how individuals communicate, seek and exchange information. Telemedicine is a subspecialty of medicine that utilizes some of these Information technologies to enable and deliver healthcare at a geographical distance. It is a constantly evolving science as it incorporates new advancements in technology and responds and adapts to changing health needs and variabilities in different societies. Burns are a relatively common injury requiring specialist care to enable the best outcome. In the UK there are relatively few specialized burns units and burns expertise is therefore often not easily attainable due to geographical difficulties. This chapter endeavours to describe current Burns care provision in the UK and how Telemedicine can be used in the assessment and management of burns patients. Telemedicine is explored in terms of modes, cost-effectiveness, and potential medicolegal and ethical issues.
