15.00 Welcome by prof. dr. ir. Jacob Fokkema, chairman Gemma Frisius Lecture
In Praise of Dis-obedience - prof.em.ir. Jaap van Till, prof.em. Internet Infrastructure Delft University of Technology, member Scientific Technical Council (WTR), an independent advisory body of Stichting SURF
In the Netherlands massive use is made of ICT infrastructures; the SURF knowledge infrastructure for scientists, educators and students; and a wide variety of 'networks' on Internet and social media. Recently the attention is shifting for "what people do with ICT" to: "what that frequent and intensive ICT use is doing to people". And to be more precise: the way they work and create value together. Focus is shifting from the usual zooming into centres/nodes to its dual: the links and relations binding people together. What emerges are new networked structures of P2P collaboration, with fast learning teams that consist of strong mixed fabrics of: homo sapiens (those that know how and why things will work), homo faber (those with tacit knowledge that can really build things), homo ludens (those people that have youthful imaginations and creativity) and homo disobediens (those people that dare to explore and do new things) - download presentation here
What we make shows us who we are - Pim Haselager, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University, Nijmegen
We create our technologies, but at the same time these technologies show us, at least partially, who we are, what we find important, and which aspects of our (social) life we value most. Analyzing the impact of ICT on human cognition and social interaction may show us aspects of ourselves that we were only dimly aware of previously. This presentation will focus on the way ICT interacts with (and thereby reflects) our desire to potentially be elsewhere, almost without limitation - download presentation here
