„Digital natives” – szanse i zagrożenia wynikające z wykorzystania nowoczesnych mediów w procesie kształcenia

The aim of this article is to analyze the most important opportunities and threats related to the use of modern media in the process of educating and educating the gene- ration known as “digital natives”. This generation is considered to be a generation that treats modern technological, communication and information solutions as something natural. This feature can be used effectively in school. For this to happen, however, it is necessary to properly planned and implemented media education, which will allow to take advantage of the opportunities and eliminate the risks associated with the use of digital technology by young people.

Dialectics of Nature: Metabolic Architectures Meet Intelligent Guerrilla Beehives

Between realms of cellular life, city occupation and technology, AnneMarie Maes's Intelligent Guerrilla Beehive project and Dennis Dollens's metabolic architectures share a theoretical lineage and form-finding curiosity, subscribing to the view that species' intelligence and their built environments can contribute to experimental art and architecture. Microbe, plant, animal and machine intelligences then root our research considering bees, microbes and computational simulation as participants in generative design and technological communication, AI and community. The article discusses sculptural, architectural and theoretical logic/design as it draws from nature to hybridize types of intelligences spanning matter, phenomena and life.

The Interdisciplinary Functional-Dynamic Approach to the Analysis of the Political System of Modern Society

The authors analyze different approaches to the study of the political system of society (PSO) in various social sciences. The prospects of an interdisciplinary study of PSO based on the llocation of several subsystems with various functions are substantiated. The characteristic of various functional subsystems of the PSO is given, among them: institutional, regulatory, ideological, technological, communication subsystems

Sadharanikaran Model vs Mathematical Model: Analyzing their Relevance in Context of Social Media

The communication process varies according to cultural, political, economic, social, psychological, socio-economic factors from one country to another. The term ‘communication’, however, has been accepted globally though the pattern of communication differs from one society to another. Communication scientists have tried to define communication in a particular context of a particular society. In this study, therefore, Sadharanikaran model from the Eastern perspective and Shannon and Weaver model from the Western perspective have been chosen to study the difference in the pattern of communication. The elements of the models have been studied along with the context of technological communication with particular reference to social media such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Skype.

The Mutual Influence of Signals from the Location Monitoring Equipment and Technological Communication in the High-Frequency Path of Power Transmission Line

The paper describes the main characteristics of equipment used for technological communication by means of overhead electric transmission lines: high-frequency relay protection, command transmission of emergency control, high-frequency communication for the transmission of telemechanics and telephony signals, as well as equipment for a location equipment for monitoring the condition of electric transmission lines. The results of experimental studies on the mutual influence of the signals from the location monitoring equipment and technological communication in the high-frequency path of overhead transmission lines are presented. It shows a lack of effect of signals from location monitoring equipment on the work of technological communication equipment. Methods are proposed to reduce the influence of technological communication signals on the operation of location equipment: the method of signal accumulation and the method of digital filtering of signals. Analysis of the results of joint operation of the location monitoring equipment and high-frequency communication equipment under various conditions and operating modes on operating 35-330 kV overhead lines confirms their full compatibility.

Social Media and Social skills

Constant engagement of children with social media deprives them of face-face to face contacts and hence opportunities to practice social skills in real time situations. Technological Communication (internet and social media) preference strongly correlated with poor social skills and high social anxiety, while a greater restriction of technology in youth correlated with high social skills. One of the “benefits” advocated over and again by experts in various fields is that social media actually increases and supports the development of social skills. However, technological Communication (internet and social media) preference strongly correlated with poor social skills and high social anxiety, while a greater restriction of technology in youth correlated with high social skills in college. In this study the following five popular benefits from social media that were highlighted over and again, have been examined critically to show the reverse is true.
