The Three Technological Paradigms 1. Transforming Matter: During the stone age when
we distinguished ourselves from other animals by
creating and using tools.
2. Transforming Energy: When we learned to harness
energy and automate processes, starting with fire,
using water mills, steam engines, combustion
engines, and electricity.
3. Transforming information: The digital technological
paradigm: Started with us transforming
communication and data (computers, phones, radio,
etc.) and is currently in the knowledge and
algorithms phase.
Digital Twin Companies collecting behavioral patterns and data
to create a knowledge platform which they can learn
from and use to better optimize their products.
Digitalization The collection and digitalization of data and
communicating it upwards.
Algorithmification The knowledge produced during digitalization being
brought down to the physical world in the form of
something like a product; Info being turned to
applied knowledge.
Technological Determinism The belief that technology is inherently good or bad/
inherent property/ has a predetermined outcome.
, social constructionism Technology itself is not good or bad, it does not
have a pre-determined outcome. It is just like any
other tool: It is about what we do with it.
Technology is neither good, bad, or neutral.
ICT: Information and communication An umbrella term that includes any communication
technology device or application, encompassing: radio,
television, cellular phones, computer and network
hardware and software, satellite systems and so on,
as well as the various services and applications.
-Not all ICT is digital: The pony express in 1850
allowed communication to travel much faster and
further than it had before at that point.
-
The beginning of the digital age Estimated to be in 2002, because that was the first
time humanity could store more information in a
digital format than an analog format.
The Mathematical Theory of A two part paper written by Claude Shannon where
Communication he conceptualized the "bit" in 1948.
Bit A unit of information which every other form of
communication converged on: The bit is used for
storage, communication, and computation.
Information is the reduction of uncertainty- If you
can reduce uncertainty to half, that is one bit- the
same bit can be used to create algorithmic
information
Storage The transmission of information through time
Communication The transmission of information through space
Computation The transformation of information in space and time
