most recent one.

Why is this stuff so important? Death of the machine age – Birth
of the computer age
Death of the machine age – Birth of the computer age Computing and connectivity are disrupting every form of public life Globalization, the rise of big corporations and the fall of trade walls are creating a new economy Tech and access to markets has never been cheaper or easier
It’s a shift as significant as the Industrial Revolution
Pace of Change is so rapid “In a decade, the idea of computers driving cars went from impossible to boring.”

Your Kids In 20 years time, if current trends in automation continue, the jobs landscape will look extremely different from how it does now.
Although how quickly the transitions will take place in different positions is still very much an open question, it seems worth making sure you cultivate the skills which machines find the most difficult to replicate: creative and social intelligence.
The least replaceable positions cover a wide spread of professions including chief executives, social workers and healthcare professionals. All of our current top careers fall into the lowest risk category, although some of the lower level jobs in law and medicine are medium risk.

The Internet: Your connection to the Internet is as one atom inside a weather system
You are HERE
Billons of sites exists on the Web alone, which itself exists on the Internet which has itself got billions of other things connected to and via it
How big?
A company in India has now closed its website as most of their traffic is through mobile devices, so we are already at
the point where the Web is evolving again
Comms channels have proliferated… look at the ones just for marketing
How the Internet Works
How the Web WorksWeb Browsers
A web browser a piece of separate software that connects to the Internet and displays content in a specified format.
It’s a door to the internet. Browsers are all slightly different, but they all allow you to 'surf' the internet and access different websites.
Your browser connects to the Internet, finds the address you want and then downloads the content to your browser which can display it formatted as designed.

What do I need to know about “online”?1. It is always on – 24/72. Immediate3. It is primarily P2P not B2C4. Audiences have and are fragmenting into thousands of channels5. It is fragmented6. Audiences are now using other devices7. Design matters but experience matters more8. Experiences have to be joined-up9. Correct content for correct channel10.It is persistent and pervasive11.It generates vast amounts of data that needs dealing with but that
can teach us loads
