This chapter explores the information revolution represented by the Internet. It argues that a number of contemporary debates over the nature of authorship and the ownership of ideas and information present serious challenges to traditional concepts of plagiarism. Especially considered are students’ many types of interactions with digital technologies and the effect of a “flat world” on their thinking and information-gathering practices. The author then offers suggestions for improving faculty and student understanding of the new information environment and for sustaining academic integrity in the midst of a knowledge revolution.

The Impact

The use of human resources, both in the development of an individual enterprise, and in the development of the whole country, plays an important role, therefore, issues related to the formation of "human capital" and methods for assessing it are relevant today. Today, digital technologies penetrate into all spheres of the economic activity of society and contribute to the formation of a new information environment for economic entities. Digitalization as an objective process has an impact on the development of individual sectors of the national economy, including enterprises in the service sector. The article discusses the positive and negative aspects of the impact of digitalization on the activities of service enterprises. The analysis performed in the study allowed us to identify the main problems of the use of human capital in digitalization and to identify its key features. The features of the formation of human capital of enterprises in the service sector at the stages of the life cycle are considered. A technique is proposed for evaluating the effectiveness of investments in the human capital of service enterprises, which is based on a combined assessment of the elements of human capital using the CIV and MVAIC methods, as well as taking into account the life cycle stage.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been a noteworthy impact on the Huge Information scene. The primary thought behind the IoT unrest is that practically every protest or gadget will have an IP address and will be associated with each other. Presently, considering the way that a large number of gadgets will be associated and will create huge volumes of information, the proficiency of information gathering system will be tested. The Internet of Things (IoT) is en route to turning into the following innovative transformation. As indicated by Gartner, income created from IoT items and administrations will surpass $300 billion out of 2020, and that most likely is only a hint of a greater challenge. Given the gigantic measure of income and information that the IoT will create, its effect will be felt over the whole enormous information universe, driving organizations to update current devices and procedures, and innovation to advance to suit this extra information volume and exploit the bits of knowledge this new information without a doubt will convey for shrewd urban areas.

By addition of analytical equipment, scanning transmission accessories and data processing equipment the basic transmission electron microscope (TEM) has evolved into a comprehensive information gathering system. This extension has led to increased complexity of the instrument as compared with the straightforward imaging microscope, since in general new information capacity has required the addition of new control hardware. The increased operational complexity is reflected in a proliferation of knobs and buttons.In the conventional electron microscope design the operating panel of the instrument has distinct control elements to alter optical conditions of the microscope column in different modes. As a consequence a multiplicity of control functions has been inevitable. Examples of this are the three pairs of focus and magnification controls needed for TEM imaging, diffraction patterns, and STEM images.

The Internet has revolutionized the way in which we consume and participate in sexual activities. Digital technologies are shaping the ways in which people interact with one another romantically and sexually. This chapter reviews some of the ways in which digital technologies are potentially shaping sexual behaviors, especially those of adolescents and young adults. Evidence suggests that technologies are facilitating increasingly more sexual activities among young people and adults, yet our understanding of these remains incomplete. The Internet has made pornography highly accessible to most individuals around the world, but the effects of frequent pornography use on individuals’ sexual beliefs and practices remain largely unknown. Sexting is also common among adolescents and adults, with some initial evidence finding that sexting was a partial mediator between problematic alcohol use and sexual hookups. More work on sexting behaviors is needed, particularly among vulnerable populations or groups at risk for exploitation. The wide use of smartphone applications designed to help users find casual sex partners are becoming more common, mirroring the increasing acceptability of having relationally uncommitted sex among young adults. More research is needed to investigate the influences of digital technologies on shaping the sexual practices of adolescents and emerging adults who may be spending increasingly more time online. Furthermore, more research is needed to examine both the potential benefits and risks associated with digital technologies that may facilitate sexual behaviors.

Abstract New digital technologies such as Blockchain and smart contracting are rapidly changing the face of value exchange, and present new opportunities and challenges for designers. Designers and data specialists are at the forefront of exploring new ways of exchanging value, using Blockchain, cryptocurrencies, smart contracting and the direct exchanges between things made possible by the Internet of Things (Tallyn et al. 2018; Pschetz et al. 2019). For researchers and designers in areas of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interaction Design to better understand and explore the implications of these emerging and future technologies as Distributed Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) we delivered a workshop at the ACM conference Designing Interactive Systems (DIS) in Edinburgh in 2017 (Nissen et al. 2017). The workshop aimed to use the lens of DAOs to introduce the principle that products and services may soon be owned and managed collectively and not by one person or authority, thus challenging traditional concepts of ownership and power. This workshop builds on established HCI research exploring the role of technology in financial interactions and designing for the rapidly changing world of technology and value exchange (Kaye et al. 2014; Malmborg et al. 2015; Millen et al. 2015; Vines et al. 2014). Beyond this, the HCI community has started to explore these technologies beyond issues of finance, money and collaborative practice, focusing on the implications of these emerging but rapidly ascending distributed systems in more applied contexts (Elsden et al. 2018a). By bringing together designers and researchers with different experiences and knowledge of distributed systems, the aim of this workshop was two-fold. First, to further understand, develop and critique these new forms of distributed power and ownership and second, to practically explore how to design interactive products and services that enable, challenge or disrupt existing and emerging models.
