Activity 8
1. On digital structural change.
       Benefits of digital society are merely affecting the economic and social
interactions. Because of this changes, we can communicate, participate and expresses
our thoughts, ideas, and feelings. We can relate ourselves in others cultures. The world
is becoming tiny and is already in the tip of our finger. Businesses are being expanded
and growth cannot be stop. Social media platforms are main reasons of all these
changes and information’s and knowledge disseminations.
2. On corporate social media.
       The main reason for the innovation of corporate social media is off course the
internet. Different social media platforms are giving you access and knowledge about
anything. Because of different knowledge gathered creation of new ideas and
innovations are easy and fast. It is said that two heads are better than one, so many
ideas will create not a just better one but the best one.
3. On open innovation.
        As new ideas are being created, the risk of neglecting the usual ways is being
forgotten. Innovations are always there. The only constant is change, and that’s where
we are heading to. In the current situations, moral values are being neglected of many
because they were thinking that it is not relevant anymore to be respectful towards
others. Everybody nowadays is entitled with our own opinions. Innovations are good but
still we should not forget where we came from and how things were before.
4. On open government.
        In terms of open government, what really important to talk about is democracy.
The ideas of an open government wherein the constituents have the voice to open up
and share what they think will be more effective and fit in any particular situations or
crisis. An open government is the government of the people, by the people and for the
people. Everyone has the power to share their thoughts on political matters and can
give feedback objectively.
5. On open access.
        Well, I must say because of open access knowledge is just a click away. What
focuses more on this open access is the disseminations of scientific information.
Current situations on Covid-19 vaccines becomes successful due to sharing of
knowledge and information based on different researches. Many lives will be saved and
lives of everyone will be improved. It is not only on scientific information, but open
access also will help the economy as well. Ideas and different programs for various
companies are designed for the betterment and uplift of society.
6. On open and free culture.
       What it tackles about is that interactions will bring positive effects in the
innovation process. An information that are free for all. Anyone can access and anyone
can be a learned. The culture that is referring here is the culture of sharing knowledge.
By this means you can embrace innovations yet you still being you.
