This chapter contains findings related to social aspects of digital activities of youth. Computers, mobile devices, and the internet are increasingly used in everyday social practices of youth, requiring competencies that are largely still not being taught in schools. To thrive in the digital era, youth need to competently use digital tools and define, access, understand, evaluate, create, and communicate digital information. Being able to develop perceptions of, and respect for, social norms and values for functioning in the digital world, without compromising one's own privacy, safety, or integrity is also important. After addressing the social prospects of information and communication technology (ICT) use among youth, this chapter describes their online behavior through the paradoxical nature of the internet (i.e., providing opportunities for social development vs. introducing risks). Educators and youth services are advised to consider these factors in designing flexible, innovative, and inclusive programs for young people that use ICT.

IMPROVEMENT OF DIGITAL LITERACY ABILITY FOR GRADE 4 AND 5 STUDENTS OF SDN TANJAKAN 3, TANGERANG REGENCY. Digital information resources are very abundant, due to advances in information technology and the internet. The current condition of students in Indonesia, which is a digital native generation, has a high dependence on information retrieval on the internet. Aside from the internet having a positive impact, the internet also has a negative side and that information can spread quickly on the internet. Digital literacy is needed to teach children the basics of socializing and digital security so they can explore the digital world safely and confidently. The subjects of this study were elementary school students in Tanjakan Village, Rajeg, Tangerang. This study uses a practical pragmatic theoretical approach that directs children to learn in groups and together solve each problem. The result of this service program is that digital literacy is carried out according to the desired target, and participants gain insight into information and communication technology and the use of the internet in a healthy and safe manner. With the right internet training, it is expected to avoid the dangers of the internet from the negative side. Participants already know tips on how to find a true or fake news on an internet website, and can surf safely and healthily. Based on the evaluation, participants of SDN Tanjakan 3 understood the material that had been delivered and agreed to use a healthy and safe internet.

This article contains findings from the recent literature on the social aspects of how young people use digital technology. To be successful in today's world, youth must be competent at using digital tools and at defining, accessing, understanding, creating, and communicating digital information. However, even the self-defined ‘techno-gurus' can be digitally illiterate, often using technology in ways that compromise their privacy, safety, or integrity. Both optimistic and pessimistic opinions about youth use of technology are presented by age group, and formations of identity, friendship, participatory culture, and political engagement are addressed in the context of information and communication technology use.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is significant for developing human resources in various villages in the current digital era. However, the implementation of ICT has experienced disruption due to the increasing spread of the COVID-19 virus, resulting in a decline in market mechanisms, especially in the Village MSME sector. Therefore, social innovation is needed by social entrepreneurs so that MSMEs can survive and compete with others, as has been done by the Kampung Teknologi Foundation (KTF) through digital literacy to MSMEs in villages. The method in this study used qualitative research using the Social Innovation Model. As a result, in social entrepreneurship communication, KTF carried out three essential stages, 1) Formalization: KTF used Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages as a basis for empowering MSMEs. KTF initiated the empowerment of MSMEs in villages by introducing digital sales using social media, market places, e-commerce, and other digital applications; 2) Change processes: KTF implemented digital sales by initiating the Digital Up program, which is an entrepreneur empowerment program and was implemented after five-year KTF contributes to digital literacy; 3) Social Outcomes: In the application of digital literacy, only 30% of MSMEs have successfully switched to using digital technology. Therefore, good cooperation between one division and another is still needed, such as implementing new programs. It can minimize program failures, and implementing digital literacy can succeed and on target.

The Relationship

In this digital era, the internet, and Social Media (SM) has had a radical impact on the shopping behavior of “costumers” The SM provides a platform where “costumers” are exposed to the best product with the best price along with reviews and opinions about the merchandise. So, we can turn our heads and look at a brand in a way as if the brand is speaking to us. This study was an attempt to explore the Social Media Marketing Activities (SMMA) that are being used for the marketing of fashionable products like apparel and to what level the SMMA activities of brands truly strengthen the relationship with customers and motivate purchase intention. Moreover, SMMA has a robust application in developing a marketing strategy for business. It has become a significant tool that collaborates with businesses and people. It is concluded that the “costumer”-brand relationship does have a positive and statistically significant impact on consumers’ purchase intention through SM.

RESUMO: Pesquisar a inserção das tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação nos contextos formativos envolve problematizar as percepções, apropriações e significações de professores e alunos sobre a questão. Este texto buscou identificar as produções científicas brasileiras (teses e dissertações) a respeito do letramento digital na formação de professores, realizadas entre os anos de 2010 a 2018. Utilizamos a revisão sistemática como procedimento metodológico, com o auxílio do software Parsifal. Pontuamos as seguintes equações para verificar nos trabalhos: quais objetivos de pesquisa essas produções revelam? Que perspectivas de letramento digital e quais procedimentos e instrumentos metodológicos os pesquisadores adotaram? Quais resultados dos processos de letramento digital trabalhados na formação de professores foram revelados? Como resultados, validamos 37 trabalhos, que apontam as configurações das propostas de formação com usos das tecnologias digitais que procuram responder às novas dinâmicas sociais para as quais os alunos-professores precisam estar aptos. De acordo com as pesquisas encontradas, os cursos de formação inicial ou continuada têm inserido as tecnologias digitais em suas práticas, mas as possibilidades de usos ainda são muitas. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: letramento digital; formação de professores; revisão sistemática.   ABSTRACT: Researching the insertion of digital information and communication technologies in the formative contexts involves problematizing teachers and students’ perceptions, appropriations and meanings about the issue. This text sought to identify the Brazilian scientific productions (theses and dissertations) regarding digital literacy in teacher education, between the years 2010 to 2018. We used the systematic review as a methodological procedure, with the help of the Parsifal software. We scored the following equations to verify the work: which research objectives do these productions reveal? What perspectives of digital literacy and what procedures and methodological instruments did the researchers adopt? What results of the digital literacy processes worked on in the training of teachers were revealed? As results, we validated 37 works, which point out the settings of training proposals with uses of digital technologies that seek to respond to the new social dynamics that student-teachers need to be able to. According to the research works found, the initial or continued training courses have lent themselves to insert the digital technologies, but the possibilities of uses are still many. KEYWORDS: digital literacy; teacher training; systematic review.

These times, when the amount of information exponentially grows on the Internet, when most people can be connected at all times with powerful personal devices, we need to enhance, adapt, and simplify access to information and communication with other people. The vision of ambient intelligence which is a relevant response to this need brings many challenges in different areas such as context-awareness, adaptive human-system interaction, privacy enforcement, and social communications. The authors believe that ontologies and other semantic technologies can help meeting most of these challenges in a unified manner, as they are a bridge between meaningful (but fuzzy by nature) human knowledge and digital information systems. In this chapter, the authors will depict their vision of “Social Ambient Intelligence” based on the review of several uses of semantic technologies for context management, adaptive human-system interaction, privacy enforcement and social communications. Based on identified benefits and lacks, and on their experience, they will propose several research leads towards the realization of this vision.
