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.

This paper describes the use of a Linux embedded system for use in digital information and communication technology in order to generate image warnings using Internet of Things (IoT) prin- ciples. The proposed project generated a product, developed using concepts of project-based learning (ABP), called SECI (electronic internal communication system) that is accessed by students to view online warnings by distributed monitors and also by mobile devices connected to the Internet.

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.

The Internet is one of the newest and most powerful media that enables the transmission of digital information and communication across the world, although there is still a digital divide between and within countries for its availability, access, and use. To a certain extent, the level and rate of Web diffusion reflects its nature as a complex structure subject to positive network externalities and to an exponential number of potential interactions among individuals using the Internet. In addition, the Web is a network that evolves dynamically over time, and hence it is important to define its nature, its main characteristics, and its potential.

The article highlights the issues of organization and functioning of logistics of online trade in the context of globalization of economic relations based on the introduction of modern digital information and communication technologies. The influence of digital economy on the changes in the forms of trade operations and the peculiarities of their organization in the Internet is studied. The differences between online and offline trading are estimated, as a result of which there is a propensity and loyalty of consumers to online purchases. The essence of logistics of online trade and features of its formation with the use of elements of virtual relationships with customers and suppliers are revealed. The article uses statistical data on the development of information and communication technologies in enterprises of Ukraine and open data of EU statistics for the period 2014-2018. The economic analysis of indicators of access to the Internet, e-Commerce operations and logistics for the service of electronic orders at the enterprises of Ukraine and the European Union allowed to determine the main trends that have developed in the digitalization of logistics of online trade and to assess the impact of digital platforms on global changes in trade.
