Let’s be clear: the metaverse (however you define it) is decades away.
Which is not to say that it can be ignored in the meantime. Because while it may seem like science fiction or over-inflated hype at the moment, the fact remains that huge amounts of money and effort are being poured into making it happen – and educators need to at least be aware of its possible implications...

Can artificial intelligence help optimize remote communication and information flow in a corporation, in a large company characterized by a multi-level, complex organizational structure?
Are there any examples of artificial intelligence applications in this area of large company operations?
In large corporations characterized by a complex, multi-level organizational structure, the flow of information can be difficult. New ICT and Industry 4.0 information technologies are proving to be helpful in this regard, improving the efficiency of the flow of information flowing between departments and divisions in the corporation. One of the Industry 4.0 technologies that has recently found various new applications is artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence technology is finding many new applications in recent years. The implementation of artificial intelligence, machine learning and other Industry 4.0 technologies into various business fields of companies, enterprises and financial institutions is associated with the increase in digitization and automation of processes carried out in business entities. For several decades, in order to refine and improve the flow of information in a corporation characterized by a complex organizational structure, integrated information systems are being implemented that informationally connect applications and programs operating within specific departments, divisions, plants, etc. in a large enterprise, company, corporation. Nowadays, a technology that can help optimize remote communication and information flow in a corporation is artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence can help optimize information flow and data transfer within a corporation's intranet.
Besides, the technologies of Industry 4.0, including artificial intelligence, can help improve the cyber security techniques of data transfer, including that carried out in email communications.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:
Can artificial intelligence help optimize remote communication and information flow in a corporation, in a large company characterized by a multi-level, complex organizational structure?

In the not-too-distant future, will it be possible to merge human consciousness with a computer, or to transfer human consciousness and knowledge to a computer system equipped with sufficiently highly advanced artificial intelligence?
This kind of vision involving the transfer of the consciousness and knowledge of a specific human being to a computer system equipped with a suitably highly advanced artificial intelligence was depicted in a science fiction film titled "Transcendence" (starring Jonny Deep) It has been reported that research work is underway at one of Elon Musk's technology companies to create an intelligent computerized system that can communicate with the human brain in a way that is far more technologically advanced than current standards. The goal is to create an intelligent computerized system, equipped with a new generation of artificial intelligence technology so that it will be possible to transfer a copy of human knowledge and consciousness contained in the brain of a specific person according to a concept similar to that depicted in a science fiction film titled "Transcendence." In considering the possible future feasibility of such concepts concerning the transfer of human consciousness and knowledge to an information system equipped with advanced artificial intelligence, the paraphilosophical question of extending the life of a human being whose consciousness functions in a suitably advanced intelligent information system is taken into account, while the human being from whom this consciousness originated previously died. And even if this were possible in the future, how should this issue be defined in terms of the ethics of science, the essence of humanity, etc.? On the other hand, research and research-implementation work is already underway in many technology companies' laboratories to create a system of non-verbal communication, where certain messages are transmitted from a human to a computer without the use of a keyboard, etc., only through systems that read people's minds, for example. through systems that recognize specific messages formulated non-verbally in the form of thoughts only and a computer system equipped with electrical impulse and brain wave sensors specially created for this purpose would read human thoughts and transmit the information thus read, i.e., messages to the artificial intelligence system. This kind of solution will probably soon be available, as it does not require as advanced artificial intelligence technology as would be required for a suitably intelligent information system into which the consciousness and knowledge of a specific human person could be uploaded. Ethical considerations arise for the realization of this kind of transfer and perhaps through it the creation of artificial consciousness.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:
In the not-too-distant future, will it be possible to merge human consciousness with a computer or transfer human consciousness and knowledge to a computer system equipped with sufficiently highly advanced artificial intelligence?
And if so, what do you think about this in terms of the ethics of science, the essence of humanity, etc.?

Will green cryptocurrencies be created with which new, pro-environmental and pro-climate, green economic ventures will be financed?
Is this a purely futurological vision or is it already feasible?
Green cryptocurrencies should be developed according to new eco-innovative technologies, so that their creation, digging will use much less electricity than today. Currently, digging cryptocurrencies still uses as much energy as a medium-sized country on a global scale. The issue of saving electricity consumption is particularly relevant in the context of the current energy crisis and, in the future, also in the context of a multi-year developing climate crisis. Therefore, green cryptocurrencies, which will be used to finance new pro-environmental and pro-climate green business ventures, should also be created using many times less electricity than at present in order to be green in themselves.
In what direction will the development of green cryptocurrencies develop? Will green cryptocurrencies be used to finance new pro-environmental and pro-climate green business ventures or will green cryptocurrencies be cryptocurrencies that are mined using significantly less electricity than at present?
Or perhaps both? This would be best for the environment, the climate and the planet's biosphere.
In view of the above, I address the following questions to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:
Will green cryptocurrencies be created with which to finance new environmentally and climate-friendly green economic ventures?

Answer
Energy Web, Alliance for Innovative Regulation, RMI, and the World Economic Forum convene various activities in support of the Crypto Climate Accord (CCA). Inspired by the Paris Climate Agreement, the CCA is a private sector-led initiative for the entire crypto community focused on decarbonizing the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry in record time.
—————————-—
The crypto industry has a unique opportunity
to reduce emissions, showcase industry-wide decarbonization, create new demand for clean technologies, and increase access to customers and capital with interests in sustainability. However, to achieve these goals, any actor in the crypto industry will need a comprehensive way to measure, track, and report their electricity use and the associated GHG emissions. The crypto industry also will need guidance around the pathways and mechanisms available to achieve 100% decarbonization.
——————
The BMC revealed that it successfully collected sustainable energy information from over 32 percent of the current global Bitcoin network in its first ever voluntary survey. The results of this survey show that the members of the BMC and participants in the survey are currently utilizing electricity with a 67% sustainable power mix. Based on this data it is estimated that the global mining industry’s sustainable electricity mix had grown to approximately 56 percent, during Q2 2021, making it one of the most sustainable industries globally.
————————-—
Let's create a new standard.
We believe that it is time for a new way of doing business. The guiding principles of the future economy are sustainability, traceability, and transparency. Our ESG ratings take this new value system into account and promote the development of sustainable crypto solutions.
——————————
Conclusion:
Eco-cryptos, which represent a clean energy index, will surely emerge as a digital currency tool for eco-logical business ventures.

Why are there still people in the 21st century who in some countries do not accept the prevailing knowledge confirmed by scientific research who believe that the Earth is not round is only flat or that the Earth is the center of the Solar System, not the Sun or negating the process the evolution of the origin of various life forms on Earth, etc.?
In my opinion, it is not a question of faith but a lack of knowledge confirmed by scientific research. It is strange, however, that in the 21st century, in the face of the facts widely confirmed in the media, confirmed in many aspects scientifically, on the basis of experiments carried out, space expeditions are still people who ignore this widely available knowledge in the media and create their unjustified theories.
No wonder that even a few centuries ago and before, i.e. in a situation of widespread illiteracy and lack of universal access to knowledge and information, in the absence of media it was easy to maintain, promote anachronistic and illogical theories to implement a specific information policy for the needs of maintaining absolute power, which one of the attributes was access to knowledge and information deliberately restricted for a large part of society, and in some epochs, such as, for example, in the Middle Ages, deliberately limited research possibilities and deliberately placed barriers to the development of science. In such realities, totalitarianisms are easily formed and it is easy to carry out indoctrination of the society by propagating even illogical, unjustified ideologies that are not supported by any scientific research.
Therefore, nowadays access to knowledge and results of scientific research should be universal and unlimited. A large positive role in this matter is played by the Internet and Internet portals such as the Research Gate portal.

How can the development of new online media improve communication between collaborating researchers on an international scale?
The involvement of Internet information technologies, new media for the development of international contacts between scientists improves the logistics of information flow, but does not ensure success in this international cooperation. Online new information media are just a tool that can be used in a variety of ways. Even if Internet technologies of new media are effectively used and advanced information processing technologies are developed, ie typical of the current Industry 4.0 technological revolution, it is still not possible to eliminate all negative aspects, threats and risks resulting from the growing involvement of new online news media to information activities, marketing, research, business and other.
For example, it is not possible to completely eliminate the risk of information transfer on the Internet, including information frauds and deliberate manipulation of information posted on internet information portals and social media portals, information transfer via e-mail etc. carried out by hackers and cybercriminals that break into IT systems of institutions public, financial and business, intercepting and stealing information, making financial embezzlement after hacking into online banking systems.
The most important determinant of the development of international contacts between scientists and researchers are people, their needs in establishing and developing international research teams, including the awareness of the possibility of creating added value, understanding and respect for other cultures and systems of the organization, the need for internationalization of previously determined locally and nationally developed research topics, etc.
On the other hand, social media portals operate as part of the development of new online media.

Respected Doctor
Big data has three characteristics as follows:
1-Volume
It is the volume of data extracted from a source, which determines the value and capabilities of the data to be classified as big data, and by the year 2020, cyberspace will contain approximately 40,000 megabytes of data ready for analysis and information extraction.
2-Variety
It means the diversity of extracted data, which helps users, whether they are researchers or analysts, to choose the appropriate data for their field of research and includes structured data in databases and unstructured data (such as: images, clips, audio recordings, videos, SMS, call logs, and data). Maps (GPS), and require time and effort to prepare them in a suitable form for processing and analysis.
3-Velocity
It means the speed of producing and extracting data and sending it to cover the demand for it. Speed is a crucial element in making a decision based on this data, and it is the time we take from the moment this data arrives to the moment the decision is made based on it.
There are many tools and techniques that are used to analyze big data, such as: Hadoop, Map Reduce, HPCC, but Hadoop is one of the most famous of these tools. Big data is on several devices and then distributes the processing process to these devices to speed up the processing result and is returned or called as a single package. Tools that deal with big data consist of three main parts:
1- Data mining tools
2- Data Analysis Tools
3- Tools for displaying results (Dashboard).
Its use also varies statistically according to the research objectives (improving education, effectiveness of decision-making, military benefit, economic development, health management ... etc.).

Fossil fuels are sources of dangerous gases in the atmosphere and are widely blamed for global warming. Many countries are Going GREEN with renewable sources of energy.
The current global warming-related issues are a result of decades of carelessness, destruction and abuse of resources for the benefit of mankind. Developed countries are developed maybe because they destroyed more than developing countries, and yet everyone pays the same price.
The hush today is to go Electric (EV) for cars and solar for replacing fossil-based energy. No one is yet talking about the effects of batteries lying idle in the rivers and oceans in the next 50 years. Are we silently creating another worse time bomb than what we have on our hands so far?
Relevant answer
Answer
We are taught that renewables are increasingly displacing dirty fossil fuels in the power sector, offering the benefit of lower emissions of carbon and other types of pollution. But not all sources of energy marketed as “renewable” are beneficial to the environment. Biomass and large hydroelectric dams create difficult tradeoffs when considering the impact on wildlife, climate change, and other issues.
You have rightly explained the another face where disposal of dead batteries will be a great problems. If it is green it should be totally green, will it be possible? It is again a big question.

In the period March-May 2020, in many countries due to the development of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic causing Covid-19 disease, a significant part of didactic processes have been converted into e-learning form. Therefore, there is now a rapid increase in the use of ICT, Internet technologies and certain Industry 4.0 technologies in the application of teaching processes in a remote form via the Internet. Due to the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic, in order to limit the development of the pandemic, full-time teaching activities at schools and colleges have now been suspended and replaced by e-learning in many countries. Due to the suspension of stationary didactic classes in schools and colleges, classes are conducted remotely, through various new online media through specific forms of e-learning. The growing importance and development of e-learning is also correlated with the current acceleration of the digitization processes of the economy.
Therefore, teachers are looking for answers to the following research questions:
- How will the current state of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic affect learning outcomes?
- To what extent can modern ICT information technologies implemented in the teaching processes effectively replace traditional, stationary teaching processes?
- How long can schools and universities last for only in e-learning form?
- To what extent the use of ICT, Internet and Industry 4.0 information technologies for teaching processes enabled continuation of education during the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic?
- What are currently used applications and e-learning platforms through which online real-time teaching classes are conducted remotely via the Internet? ZOOM, Google Meet, Microsoft Teems, ... or other?
The purpose of answering these questions will be continued research for many months, i.e. also after the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic has expired, because a similar pandemic cannot be ruled out in the future. Therefore, the above questions should be answered and education systems better prepared for such an eventuality.

Will the development of data processing technology accumulated in the Big Data banking database systems improve the credit risk management process or will it contribute to the development of Shadow Banking and the use of unethical practices for the surveillance of potential borrowers?
Large commercial banks generate high financial surpluses allowing for the implementation of modern integrated teleinformatic internet banking systems, Business Intelligence data analysis systems, data processing platforms in Big Data database systems, etc.
There were already situations of unethical use of modern ICT solutions, analysis of comments on social media portals, during which the bank verified the customer's data entered into the loan application by also scanning information that the potential borrower types in social media portals.
This informal verification took place without the knowledge of a potential borrower and could then be the basis for suing the bank.
However, the bank's client is not always aware of the fact that it can be invigilated in such a way by the public trust institutions that the bank should be.
Of course, these types of cases, which we know from the media is supposedly a margin of entire banking, which can be one of the categories of a new type of unethical practices typical of the so-called Shadow Banking.
However, only part of this type of information gets to the media.
Maybe this is just so-called "the tip of the iceberg" of this problem.
The situation is similar in the situation of cybercriminals' attack on bank IT systems or electronic banking platforms.
If it is possible to keep this type of events secret, then customers do not find out about it.
This is because media only receive information about some of these types of events.

It happens that consumers accept a limited range of information regarding, for example, production technologies for purchased products and purchase products and consumer services in incomplete information on the production technology of a specific product range.
Why do consumers, when shopping for specific products and services often accept a limited range of information regarding, for example, production technology and composition in terms of the raw materials used?
Have consumers become used to the fact that in many markets there is no full, perfect competition?
Perhaps the information resources of the Internet, the processing of data downloaded from the Internet in the Big Data database systems technology will increase the level of consumer knowledge about particular products and services.

What are the determinants of improving the marketing activities of enterprises through the use of advanced information, teleinformation, communication, Internet and advanced information processing technologies?
In my opinion, the development of Internet information services will be determined by technological progress in the field of new ICT technologies and advanced data processing techniques typical of the current technological revolution, known as Industry 4.0.
The development of information processing technology in the era of the current technological revolution determined by Industry 4.0 is determined by the application of new information technologies, for example in the field of e-commerce and e-marketing. These solutions are the basis for business success of the largest Internet technology companies that offer on the Internet information retrieval services, data collection and processing in the cloud (eg Google) and providing information services on developed social media platforms (eg Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Tweeter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and others).
The current technological revolution known as Industry 4.0 is motivated by the development of the following factors: Big Data database technologies, cloud computing, machine learning, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Business Intelligence and other advanced data mining technologies. The mentioned information technologies in connection with the improvement of ICT and communication technologies, with the progressive process of increasing computing power of computers will become an important determinant of technological progress in various branches of industry in the coming years.
On the basis of the development of the new technological solutions in recent years, dynamically developing processes of innovatively organized analyzes of large information sets stored in Big Data database systems and computing cloud computing for applications in such areas as: machine learning, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence are dynamically developing, Business Intelligence. Added to this are additional areas of application of advanced technologies for the analysis of large data sets such as Medical Intelligence, Life Science, Green Energy, etc. Processing and multi-criteria analysis of large data sets in Big Data database systems is made according to the V4 concept, ie Volume (meaning number of data), Value (large values ​​of specific parameters of the analyzed information), Velocity (high speed of new information appearing) and Variety (high variety of information).
The advanced information processing and analysis technologies mentioned above are used more and more often for marketing purposes of various business entities that advertise their offer on the Internet or analyze the needs in this area reported by other entities, including companies, corporations, financial and public institutions. More and more commercial business entities and financial institutions conduct marketing activities on the Internet, including on social media portals.
The abovementioned information and communication technologies combined with the improvement of ICT techniques and the implementation of Business Intelligence analytics to the processes of economic and financial, economic, macroeconomic and market analyzes may be instrumental to efficient and effective management of economic, investment and enterprises processes, including analyzes carried out for the purpose of improving marketing activities in enterprises.
More and more companies, banks and other entities need to conduct multi-criteria analyzes on large data sets downloaded from the Internet describing the markets on which they operate, as well as contractors and clients with whom they cooperate. On the other hand, there are already specialized technology companies that offer this type of analytical services, develop customized reports that are the result of multicriteria analyzes of large data sets obtained from various websites and from entries and comments on social media portals.

Marketing 4.0 emerged in consequence of various changes sourced from intense global competition, new type of consumers and rapid development in technologies (Vassileva, 2017). Actually, whether it is a new phenomenon or it is a modification of existing marketing implementations is discussed in the literature (Jara et al., 2012, p. 854; Tarabasz, 2013, p. 129; Nowacki 2015, p. 315). Like previous marketing concepts, customers are still the center of the marketing activities however; the difference lies behind the market conditions. Marketing 4.0 is operated in extremely cybernetic marketing system in which business transactions and customer activities can be monitored in real time (Dholakia et al., 2010, p.497). Marketing 4.0 focuses on satisfaction of customers’ needs and desires like first two generations and it tries to create value for all entities like third generation. In addition to them, it offers a direct interaction of consumers with products with enhanced technology (Jara et al., 2012, p. 854). Consumers can either display the features of the product or purchase it by scanning matrix barcode, radio frequency identification (RFID) and near field communication (NFC) tags themselves....

Online technology companies that run social media portals such as Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Tweeter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google+, Snapchat, etc. collect large amounts of data about Internet users from various websites, including mainly users of these social media portals.
Google Group collects this type of information about Internet users based on the Google web search service and other shared information services, including Google Drive, Gmail, etc.
Information on Internet users is collected, among others, by the so-called cookies installed in Internet browsers.
In addition, large Internet technology companies have the ability to combine information downloaded from various Internet sources, from various information services into one avatar, which is an electronic equivalent of a given Internet user and is built from Big Data database systems.
For the needs of these considerations, the issue of the security of classified data stored in Big Data database systems run by Internet technology companies managing social media portals should be added.
There have been frequent thefts made by cybercriminals who, from these Big Data systems, stole classified and sensitive information about hundreds of thousands or millions of users of particular social media portals.
The development of social media portals therefore generates an increased risk of theft of data on users of social media portals.
On the other hand, technological internet companies such as Google, Facebook, etc. have the ability to obtain classified, sensitive and personal information from the Internet about the users of websites, including search engines and social media portals, who use these information services.
These companies in their Big Data database systems are gradually expanding the scope of data related to Internet users and are constantly expanding the avatars mentioned above, ie electronic equivalents of individual Internet users.
Therefore, the colloquial wording was created: "If you are not on the Internet, you do not exist."
There is one more issue, namely the above-mentioned activity of Internet technology companies expanding their information resources Big Data and orz contained in these resources avatars of individual Internet users, how does this correlate with the legal protection of personal data in individual countries?
In view of the above, I am asking you to answer the following question:
Does anyone of you research the scope of information from which are built avatars of individual users of social media portals, which are created and developed in Big Data database systems managed by online technology companies running these social media portals?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

Dear Olarotimi Oluwagbenga, Vishva Kumara N P, Thank you for participating in this discussion and providing inspiring and informative responses.

Thanks to Google search, you can find a lot of personal information on the Internet about Internet users using various websites that log on to various social media portals, using various information services offered by various companies and institutions via the Internet. Increasingly, people do not know how much information about them can be found by other people on the Internet.
The Google search engine refers to a variety of other knowledge resources, databases, social media portals in which a lot of information about citizens is found. In addition, Google develops its Big Data database solutions in the cloud computing and competes with Facebook and several other large online technology companies in the collection of data on Internet users.

Hello Dears,
Suppose that you're developing a technology acceptance model (TAM) in a case. Could you tell me about the effects and advantages of including "Several Independent Variables" into the TAM?
Bests,
Dashtpeyma
Relevant answer
Answer
The TAM model is used to explain and predict user acceptance of computer technologies. Basically, if an information system can help people do their jobs better, it is perceived as useful. Accordingly, the basic TAM model defines two variables: perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, in order to quantify users' attitudes towards information technology. In this context, you can check as a TAM example on this link: https://commons.erau.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1354&context=publication
It is about TAM of the Information Systems Security that can help you to respond to your question.
Also, to be confident about the problem, you can use the independent decision variables but they should have significative ponderations. To determine the ponderation, I suggest using an experimental method like "Delphi" as a methodology for constructing your final model.

Relevant answer
Answer
I fully agree with Adasa Nkrumah. I also believe that the current pandemic has once again demonstrated the importance of IT not only for the containment of the spread of the virus but also for the assistance and monitoring of the sick and for the sanitation of the hospital and non-hospital environments. In fact, many hospitals using robots, more or less "intelligent" and more or less "perfect", but all very useful to monitoring sick (24/24 hour) and to sanitation and sterilize the environments. These are just a few minimal examples that demonstrate the need and importance of IT which, in my opinion, will be increasingly present in our daily lives. For all these reasons, I think the job market for computer science graduates will expand more and more.

In reading various articles and in even discussions with consultants, the terms Cyber Security and Information Security are used interchangeably and sometimes the former seems to be taking over the latter. I want to share my thoughts on this and to show how there can be a distinction between Cyber Risks and Information Security Risks and also show how these two risks can be defined.
Cyber Risks
All risks that affects the organization’s Information Systems such as breaches, IT related threats (Ransomware, virus, malware, etc.). This requires that the relevant People, Process & Technology are in place to predict, prevent, detect and respond against cyber threats.
Information Security (IS) Risks
With IS Risk the focus is on the tenets of Information Security, these are the controls which are to be designed in all IT solutions prior to go live:
Confidentiality – Controls in place to mitigate against the unauthorized disclosure of information.
Integrity – Controls in place to mitigate against the unauthorized modification of information.
Availability – Controls in place to mitigate against downtime of Information Systems, such as Denial Of Service attacks.
So Cyber Risks would relate more to the daily IT related activities of an organization and the Information Security Risks would be the controls that are baked in to IT solutions during the development phase.
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, due to the high dynamics of development of cyber crime, cyber threats, cyber risk, information security on the Internet, cyber crime risk management, information management transferred in cyberspace, hacking techniques in online and mobile banking etc. it happens that some synonymous terms are used interchangeably. This can cause interpertional dissonance. In this connection, an important issue is the permanent updating of the language of the problem in the field of cyber crime and cyber security and the semantic classification of individual concepts and relationships between them.

Relevant answer
Answer
I want to use IT benefits as Latent construct.Could someone please tell me the measurement items for IT Benefits from previous literature?
Firstly, "IT benefits" as a construct is rather general, you might want to be more specific e.g. if your research is related to a IT security system, then the IT benefits may include: lower risk, better compliance, lesser exposure, lower cost etc. If your research is about a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, then your IT benefits might cover: Speed Go To Market (GTM), increased Call Center Agent Productivity, SLA compliance, Customer Satisfaction etc.
Secondly, besides the IT benefits which are system centric as mentioned above. You also need to define what level of IT benefits you want to research as some IT benefits can be operational e.g. efficiency / agility, some can be tactical e.g. effectiveness, better management decision making; and some can be strategic e.g. improve the IT department / organizational top & bottom lines, business goals etc.
Thirdly, you need to define the construct "IT benefits" and all the relevant measurement items should be covered under your definition.
Suggesting you to perform rigorous literature review on the topic of "IT benefits" according to your research context including its definition and relevant questionnaire / measurement items to be adopted, adapted or create your own survey questionnaire. Wishing you all the best.

Mies van der Rohe pithy aphorism: “Architecture is the will of the epoch translated into space” doesn’t seem to fit quite well with the modern IT generation, today. Often, new architectural forms and style expressions arise along with societal changes, and sometimes even crisis, which gives opportunities to people associated with building the challenges as well as the chances to new line of thoughts. For a large part, much of the celebrated architecture styles of today have its origin in the first half of the 20th century or earlier. The development of ENIAC, the first computer in the 1940s nor the widespread use of internet in the 1990s led to the evolution of architecture as a style movement or school of thoughts, spatially or symbolically. What did arrived, nevertheless, is the ‘smart office’, ‘smart cities’ or intelligent buildings that incorporates energy efficiency, safety and security, etc., through automation that integrates the control system into computers. But these technological evolutions are not really a style movement or initiation to new school of thoughts, per se. So, is it correct to say IT has little or no impact on architectural expressions or style movements? Share your thoughts.
Relevant answer
Answer
Most architectural thought is firmly based on 19th century tectonics and typologies. As a result, 60-year old information technology is mostly ignored by architects. Some would argue that in recent decade(s) there has been no critical development of architectural thought at all. I would not completely agree, but I guess it is true that pragmatism without too much thought on the basics of architecture is mostly the case now. If we interpret "IT" as the process of digitilization and vitualization which blurs the boundaries between material and information, then the impact of IT on our current days lives, cities, and buildings is huge - albeit for the most part ignored by architects.

Answer
In a fast-changing and increasingly interconnected world that demands more individual and collective contributions than ever before, we may have to bridge the hitherto somewhat artificial divide between human capital and social capital. Synergizing—perhaps even integrating—human capital and social capital summons practical and research insights into how individual-based knowledge, skills, and abilities can be developed both singly and in unison with network-based knowledge, skills, and abilities for the (higher) purpose of creating organizational value. From this perspective, it would therefore appear that significance does not lie so much in a new "definition" of human capital but, rather, in how it might be fructified more effectively in social capital applications.

Currently, various data security tools are used in Big Data database systems. The basic principle is the parallel use of several types of IT security and compliance with specific procedures for analyzing and securing systems against potential materialization of operational risks, including technical risks associated with used computer hardware and specific database technologies and personnel risks associated with employees who support these systems.
The key issue is also whether built database systems are directly connected to the Internet online or are not permanently connected to the Internet and certain data from the Internet are added from time to time to Big Data databases after their analysis by anti-virus software, detecting malware worms, such as keyloggers and other malicious software created by cybercriminals and used to steal information from database systems of data warehouses and Big Data.
In a situation when Big Data database systems or other systems where important information is collected are connected to the Internet online, then the information sent should be encrypted, and system gateways connecting the Big Data database with the Internet should be equipped with a good firewall and other filtering security incoming information. If the employees operating the Big Data database system use certain e-mailboxes, they should be only company mailboxes and verified from the security side of data transfer on the Internet. The company should have strict security procedures for using e-mail boxes, because in recent years via e-mails cybercriminals have sent ransomware programs hidden in e-mail attachments, used to encrypt hard disks used in company and server databases.
Do you agree with me on the above matter?
In the context of the above issues, I am asking you the following question:

Answer
How should Big Data database systems be protected against the activities of cybercriminals?
Possible ways include:
  1. ensure access rights are only given to the right users, continuously monitor their access & revoke their access once the campaign / project is completed.
  2. data at rest encryption.
  3. data access / transfer encryption.
  4. layers of network security with different types of firewalls & only the right port(s) are turned on.
  5. backup data frequently to ensure 3-2-1 rule applies - this is to ensure your data availability when they are encrypted by ransomware.

Our language is the origin and the building mean of formal languages of math and physics. Artificial intelligence mashines creates even their own language.
Are there research to create new languages to create new science or to simplify and make more understandable the current science? Or is it just my fantasy? Maybe if a man can see, say in ifrared range then he could invent new words? Maybe we should go in this direction?
How will one create new language describing our world and qualitatively different from the today one? Maybe we should study other creatures likes delphines?
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, we can make science more clear and powerful with new language, but we can't neglect English because English currently plainly settled as the principle language of universal logical correspondence, specialists keep on distributing their work in different dialects than English too.We encourage mainstream researchers to attempt to handle this issue and propose potential methodologies both for incorporating non-English scientific knowledge viably and for upgrading the multilingualism of new and existing information accessible just in English for the clients of such learning.

In my opinion, the fastest-growing business projects are primarily those that are the subject of innovative startups developing dynamically for a minimum period of several years. Startups develop innovative business projects in such areas as: information technology, ICT, Internet, biotechnology, energy, ecology, environmental protection, medicine, agribusiness, etc. In addition, a number of innovative technologies in construction, material, process and marketing innovations have recently been created in the field of smart city, life science, cleantech, medical intelligence and others that are used by companies and corporations operating in various sectors of the national or international economy.
In addition, innovative business projects are also developed in the fields of various fields of information services, advanced data processing, business analytics and the development of teleiform technologies, which together are the pillars of a knowledge-based economy. The current technological revolution known as Industry 4.0 is motivated by the development of the following factors:
Big Data database technologies, cloud computing, machine learning, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence. It is anticipated that in the next years in these fields of science and technology many large startups will be created, which will be developed effectively based on innovative business projects related to the topics mentioned above. On the basis of the development of the new technological solutions mentioned in recent years, the processes of innovatively organized analyzes of large information collections gathered in Big Data database systems dynamically develop.
In each of these areas, many specific design topics can be distinguished, in which business startups develop and reach the minimum level of a medium-sized company or large corporation in a situation of spectacular business success based on a well-designed business and an effectively implemented innovative business project.
In view of the above, I am asking you: In what areas are the most innovative start-ups currently being developed?

I want to understand how social media was accepted by an organisation regarding the "classical" TAM model (Davis, 1989) in qualitative way. I understood from the literature review that most studies used TAM were conducted in the quantitative paradigm.
However, because my sample size is small a quantitative approach is not an appropriate choice. Instead I have in mind to conduct focus groups with a topic guide related to the original TAM questions (Davis, 1989).
Literature:
Davis, F. D. (1989). Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, and User Acceptance of Information Technology. MIS Quarterly, 13(3), 319. https://doi.org/10.2307/249008
Relevant answer
Answer
Does anybody used the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) in a qualitative way (for instance focus group)?
Agreed many TAM related research are quantitative-based. But whether to use quantitative or qualitative research is depending on your research problem, research objective or conceptual framework. If you want to move from quantitative to qualitative due to inadequate sample size, then you might also need to reconsider / adjust your research problem, objective, conceptual framework etc. One avenue to do so is pickup one / some of the constructs e.g. perceived usefulness, perceived ease of us, attitude towards using etc. to investigate further why & how these constructs related to actual usage of social media by an organization. Alternatively, depending on your sample size of the respondents e.g. if you only have around 30-50 respondents, you can also consider mixed method's sequential explanatory study i.e. conduct a quantitative research first, then deep dive into certain significant / insignificant constructs via qualitative research to find out why or why not etc. - think this is also a form of knowledge contribution.

Apparently, in some countries, they are founded, usually somewhere underground, in specially created bunkers capable of surviving climatic disasters and other banks of large collections of information on the achievements of human civilization gathered on digital data carriers.
These are properly secured Big Data database systems, data warehouses, underground information banks, digitally recorded.
The underground bunkers themselves can survive various climatic and other calamities for perhaps hundreds or thousands of years.
But how long will the large collections of information survive in these Big Data systems and data warehouses stored on digital media?
Perhaps a better solution would be to write this data analogically on specially created discs?
Already in the 1970s, a certain amount of data concerning the achievements of human civilization was placed on the Pioneer 10 probe sent to space that recently left the solar system and will be nearest 10,000 year flying with the information about human civilization to the Alpha Centauri constellation.
At that time, the amount of data sent to the Universe regarding the achievements of human civilization was recorded on gold discs.
Is there a better form of data storage at the moment when this data should last thousands of years?

Yes, i agree with you, but just before Strong AI come, long time ago AI schedule algorithm gave hands to flight control systems. In my opinion, Controling is more important than arrangement or schedulement. And after weak AI is going to be Strong AI, Human-beings should solve the sagety and security of AI. Then we dare to give part opputinity to AI for the flight control systems cooperation between AI and us, especially in key parts of control systems
