The Impact

The 2020 pandemic has created great global changes, both in the increased use of media and information, the creation of new digital applications, and new online jobs. At the same time, various types of violence have increased on the Internet, higher levels of discouragement, depression, and loneliness have been detected in both young people and adults. This article addresses six post­pandemic issues, realities, and challenges that must be addressed with youth alongside MIL competencies. Topics that have been developed in an educational project for leadership work in the face of changes in technological advances, Internet safety, fake news, hate speech, and the impact on emotions. In building MIL communities and cities, it is important to prepare new stakeholders to be more critical, aware, resilient, and healthy in the face of current digital challenges and difficulties.

Abstract In a recent survey, about 900 “Leaders of Tomorrow” from more than 90 countries all over the world shared their opinions about “the impact of new technologies on human freedom of choice.” They take a very clear stance against unlimited freedom of speech on the Internet. The majority thinks platforms that until now have often taken a “hands off” approach, rejecting content filtering by claiming they are “just the messenger,” should be obliged to prevent and censor hate speech and fake news on the Internet. Platforms are expected to work hand-in-hand with state institutions to better prevent online manipulation and abuse and to protect personal data. The Leaders of Tomorrow also advocate that personal data should be controlled by their owners when they are used by online platforms. Applications that lack transparency and cannot be influenced by the customer are met with the highest extent of objection.

The Impact

This study aims to highlight the growing strategic importance that cyberspace is gaining in the dynamics of international politics. After land, sea, air, and outer space, cyberspace is the fifth dimension of conflict. The type of non-military weapons used to fight, as well as the subjects targeted, make civilian systems new centers of gravity to defend against an enemy that most often "operates in the shadows." The international scenario rmation revolution (which contributed to the "democratization of information"), is radically evolving from a unipolar (American-led) to an almost multipolar architecture. The Internet today is an indispensable communication and information network for various legal and illegal subjects of international relations. Social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Telegram) play a very important role in this process. The Internet can also allow manipulation or even destabilization of the international community with the spread of false information (fake news). It is also a field for intelligence activities. Finally, the Internet is becoming the field of a new form of confrontation. Thus, both states and private actors protect themselves from possible cyber attacks by developing cybersecurity. In anticipation of this, states are developing cyberspace strategies and military-digital capabilities.

The Impact

While early ideas surrounding the influence of the Internet on political participation and communication were often overtly optimistic, comparably recent years have seen the rise of online hate speech and similar issues gaining influence in a variety of online spheres. The study presented here seeks to detail the impact of positive (‘thumbs-up’) and negative (‘thumbs-down’) feedback on the popularity of politically themed YouTube videos, uploaded during the 2017 Norwegian parliamentary election. Given the apparent dearth of studies on YouTube in this regard, the insights provided here furthers our understanding regarding the drivers of online popularity during election campaigns. Specifically, results indicate that while commenting on uploaded videos appear as related to the ‘thumbs-up’ variety, video view count appear as more clearly related to the dismissive ‘thumbs-down’ feedback option. Discussing these results, the final section of the paper also provides a few suggestions for future research efforts in this vein.

The paper considers the evolution of project activities and the impact of modern technologies on the form of project presentation. Features of the network project are considered, digital tools that are suitable for organizing network activities are described. The stages of project organization and digital tools for conducting a telecommunication project are described, as well as the features of creating a website for a network educational project. The article offers a description of the network project “Internet Safety”. The purpose of this article is to describe a method for creating a modern telecommunication project based on modern cloud and network tools. Based on this goal, the following tasks can be identified: • Consider the evolution of project activities. • Review the stages of project development. • Analyze modern digital tools that are suitable for transferring educational activities to the Internet. To pick up modern tools for the implementation of the network project. • Identify the features of the organization of project activities in the network. • Conduct testing and draw conclusions about the work done. The relevance of this work is that the services used in the course of studying the discipline “Informatics and ICT” must constantly change to the most modern ones and demonstrate to students the relevant tools necessary for a modern graduate and specialist. Materials and methods. The conclusions are based on a theoretical analysis of scientific and methodological literature on the use of the project method in education. The article was prepared using the materials and conclusions made by the author when creating the website of the telecommunication project “Internet Safety”. The telecommunication project took place in 2019 (May-June) at the College of Omsk State Technical University, as part of the study of the discipline “Information Technology”. Conclusion. The modern telecommunication project has a number of distinctive features. The process of preparing for the launch of the project is quite time-consuming and requires sufficient digital literacy from the teacher. The use of modern educational environments can make the process of organizing and conducting a project as comfortable as possible for all project participants. The analysis of modern educational tools, based on the description of the key features of the telecommunication project, allowed us to offer fairly easy-to-use services that can fully take advantage of network project activities. The proposed services were tested as part of the network project “Internet Safety”. As part of the research, a method of telecommunication projects has been developed and tested, which, thanks to the use of modern services, is capable of not only acquainting students with the topic of the project, but also developing the ICT competence of students, as well as increasing students' interest in studying modern technologies and improving the ability to navigate the information space. Results. The method of telecommunication projects is an effective pedagogical technology that has found a new life in the digital age. A modern project carried out on the Internet has a number of features, but due to the fact that this type of work is based on modern services and technologies, we can say that it develops the ICT competence of students and their skills to work in the network.

Internet And Social Media

The current ‘fake news’ phenomenon is a modern manifestation of something that has existed throughout history. The difference between what happens now and what has happened before is driven by the nature of the internet and social media – and Facebook in particular. Three key strands of Facebook’s business model – invading privacy to profile individuals, analysing mass data to profile groups, then algorithmically curating content and targeting individuals and groups for advertising – create a perfect environment for fake news. Proposals to ‘deal’ with fake news either focus on symptoms or embed us further in the algorithms that create the problem. Whilst we embrace social media, particularly as a route to news, there is little that can be done to reduce the impact of fake news and misinformation. The question is whether the benefits to freedom of expression that social media brings mean that this is a price worth paying.

The Y generation is understood as that born under the influence of the digital technologies. Now it’s represented by the young university students that created such a tight bond with the internet and its tools that uses them easily and frequently. Many works say that this generation of immediate young people accustomed to multitasking has developed a new kind of neuroplasticity entirely different of their antecessors and therefore possess peculiar habits and mechanisms of learning that should be respected and considered in the dynamics of teaching and learning, creating a pressure in the educational institutions to adequate in this reality. However, there are a few studies evaluating the real existence of these characteristics. Thus, we preset the conclusions of this descriptive qualitative project fulfilled with medicine students at Faculdade de Medicina de São José Rio Preto that aim to know how these students use digital technologies and the impact of their habits and behaviors regarding the involvement with technologies in their studies. The conclusion was that technologies are an important influence on student’s lifes, however continues to be one among several others, which allows the teachers to keep a fundamental role in the formation of these digital natives, especially helping and guiding them in the correct and full use of new technologies developed for learning.
