Our knowledge is constantly shifting from analog literacies to digital literacies, industrial literacies to information societies, paper literacies to screen literacies, and mono-modal literacies to multimodal literacies for which digital technology and/or digital culture has become a dynamic and evolving force. Concerning the literacy shifts whether we realize or not, we are invariably encountering digital technologies and are explicitly and/or implicitly embracing such knowledge shift in almost all across the world without any exception. This knowledge shift demonstrates that digital literacy has become an inescapable component of our daily life in the context of the 21st century's digital world. In this chapter, I will discuss affordances of cloud/digital pedagogies such as what teaching, learning, and writing are in digital context, how digital, cloud, or crowd pedagogy currently became an inescapable element, and why instructors from any global communities (should) welcome this pedagogical shift in academic spaces. Additionally, this chapter stresses on how instructors can engage students in the cloud environment, how students can share a complex set of linguistic and cultural narratives, and how students can collaborate and cooperate to create their realities in the context of the 21st century's networked classrooms.

Currently, the COVID 19 pandemic has changed the world and all systems of society, bringing new demands on education and care in public service entities and the work of millions of people in the world. The new digital technologies have allowed the world to function in some way in this period of time, in all areas of society. In education a constant interaction is needed, between teachers and students, during teaching - learning. However, there are factors that affect this process, including internet accessibility, digital literacy, and the economic capacity of families to acquire an electronic device. In this sense, the Ecuadorian government must take actions to guarantee that students have access to the demands of the 21st century. The objective of this article is to analyze how the population is adapting to the new educational scheme, to visualize the urgent needs and give suggestions to solve them.

Children today are growing up in a digital world that is changing and advancing at an unprecedented rate. While some adults may struggle to keep up with new technological gadgets, we find our very young may be quite at ease with the use of digital technologies, even before learning to speak. This study builds on a foundation of family literacy studies that looks at the literacies children are exposed to within their home environments. Given the influx of technology in children’s home environments, it is important to understand children’s digital literacy developments from a family literacy perspective. Studying two very young children and their families interacting with these new devices provides a deep and detailed look into how digital technologies might be influencing young children’s language and literacy development in first and second languages. Findings from this study can inform parents and educators of what, why and how young children interact and learn with digital devices.

This article explores the material and digital culture of warfarin, one of the most commonly prescribed medications in the world. The author uses the drug’s 60-year history to describe its materiality and use, showing how and why it has become an informed material. Three ethnographic cases then show where warfarin has produced and is now reproduced by three types of information: NHS Trust guidelines, genetic codes and the INR (International Normalized Ratio). When a drug becomes so entangled with informational and digital technologies, it becomes reliant on them for its proper and safe use; it can no longer be just an informed material but is a digitally informed one.

In todays changing global society, digital technology users need to be prepared to interact and work with users from around the world. Digital technology is helping to define this new global society. Being part of a society provides opportunities to its citizens but also asks that its members behave in certain way. This new technological society is drawing users together to learn, share and interact with one another in the virtual world. But for all users to be productive there needs to be a defined level of acceptable activity by everyone, in other words a digital citizenship. The concept of digital citizenship provides a structure for this digital society, by conceptualizing and organizing appropriate technology use into a new digital culture. Anyone using these digital technologies needs to understand the parameters of appropriate use so that they can become more constructive digital citizens.

Abstract Background It is almost impossible to think about a non-digital world today. digital technologies have changed our life style and they have also affected many domains including health domain. We are all aware that paper-based hospitals have changed a lot to be paper-less. Then a new term was born which is “smart hospital” and studies have been conducted in this field, so this study was designed to conduct a comprehensive review about smart hospitals. Methods 741 studies were identified using unique keywords through searching in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase and Scopus databases. Overall, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria (647 based on abstract title and 33 after reading full text) and removing duplicates (43), 18 studies were included in this review. Results Geographically, most of the articles were from Asia (50%). The highest number of publications were observed in 2012. A multidisciplinary team were involved in 77% of the researches and 61.12% of them were conducted in more than one research center. The majority of articles have been published in Q1 quality journals (33.34%) and high-income countries accounted for the largest percentage (66.67) of publishing smart hospital related articles. 27.78% of the studies were aimed at patient care, which had the highest percentage. Among the technologies used, RFID was the most and 66.67% of the articles came from researches about the implementation of a smart hospital. Conclusions it should be noted that development or implementation of a smart device in a hospital should not be considered as implementing a smart hospital, while many studies have used the term smart hospital in their study. Many Asian researchers have used the term “smart hospital” in their articles, but on the other hand, most of related articles published in Q1 journals were from America and Europe. Also, it was also observed that most studies focused on the two concepts including resource management and patient care.

New Generation

The article deals with the problem of interaction between generations in the emerging digital age. With the introduction of digital technologies into everyday life, qualitatively new conditions for the existence of society are formed, what affects the interaction of generations. Based on the following classification of generations – the “book” generation, the “TV” generation, the “Internet” generation – which have different value attitudes, specific ways of organizing work, communication, forming value ideas and priorities, different ways of experiencing life in general, the authors explore the characteristic features of a new generation. These include the problem of freedom and transparency of existence in the world of gadgets. The article also discusses the problem of communication in the presence of an intermediary – a gadget that sets its own rules of social interaction, including short communications aimed at achieving fractional, rapid goals, what leads to the situativeness of human existence in the digital world. The next problem that follows from the previous one is the problem of personality and its self-determination, which is expressed in the presence of polyidentities. The fourth characteristic feature is a specific way of getting information. The turn-of-the-century generation is also characterized by the absence of a “big hero” and the absence of a “big goal” that people of previous generations aspired to. As a way to achieve intergenerational consensus, we propose the formation of a multi-figurative culture in which all the generations which we have identified participate equally.

Different Content

We live in a time surrounded by innumerable technological innovations that have impacted this generation significantly, since very early people already make use of some electronic gadget, navigating a universe rich in entertainment features, allowing access to different content whether close or even far. Such technological innovations promote relevant transformations in all sectors of society, contributing to the formation of more active and participative subjects in issues of interest around themselves and the world, favoring the dissemination of popular culture and its enrichment. New technologies favor changes in thinking, acting, teaching and learning, as they have significantly contributed to the advancement of communication and access to information in real time. It is noticed that children are increasingly getting access to these technological tools and master them very skillfully, being able to teach the most advanced in age the use of these novelties. Thinking about the way the child is positioned in the technological society, this work sought to investigate the importance of using new digital technologies in the classroom to enhance the teaching-learning process in the early years of basic education.

Chronic Anxiety

The paper considers the alarmism inherent in humanity regarding changes caused by the entry into life of achievements of scientific and technological progress. It is noted that all opponents of progress use the fruits of his previous achievements, but at the same time express fears about newly emerging innova­tions, since they cause discomfort, bringing to the world something unusual, in relation to which tradition has not yet constituted. It is quite expected that similar phobias are also caused by the development of digital technologies – fears about the digital degradation of youth, fear of artificial intelligence, etc. In the digital world, however, there is another reason for the rejection of progress. This is the pace of the emergence and invasion of a novelty into the space of human exis­tence. Whereas in previous eras, adaptation to innovations passed through sev­eral generations, today radical transformations of the technological and, as a re­sult, socioeconomic infrastructure occur many times in the course of one human life. A qualitative leap in the speed of socio-technological development and the problems generated by the new temporality of the digital world in the conditions of a sharp narrowing of the horizon of foresight form chronic anxiety, which is based on doubts about the future, the correctness of the chosen life path and even the consistency of ideas about the meaning of life and human destination, gained in the process of modern upbringing and education.

Processing Techniques

Based on the comparison of technogenic civilization and traditional society, the article argues that the desire for change is a major feature of technogenic civilization. The latter tends to focus on the practice of writing and data recording. At the same time, the new European scientific knowledge, a key element of the technogenic civilization, emerged not only as the practice of mathematized experimental research of nature, but also as the practice of fixing new data and results and disseminating them among scientists. Management practitioners also actively use data capture. The active introduction of digital technologies has contributed to progress in all areas of public life. The analysis of these processes leads to the conclusion that they pose at least two fundamental challenges to the technogenic civilization associated with new methods of recording and processing data. First, the formation of a person's digital footprint raises the question of the specifics of her or his identity in the digital world and its connection with corporeality, and creates new existential challenges. Secondly, the ever-growing array of data and their active inclusion in the scientific turnover results in a huge number of data processing techniques and technologies. On their basis, research practices are constructed that focus on the search for correlations, rather than the formation of “bold hypotheses” that allow describing the world in a new way.
