The Impacts Of Cloud Computing And Big Data Applications On Developing World-Based Smallholder Farmers, Nir Kshetri
The Impacts Of Cloud Computing And Big Data Applications On Developing World-Based Smallholder Farmers, Nir Kshetri
International Journal of Business and Technology
Cloud computing and big data applications are likely to have far-reaching and profound impacts on developing world-based smallholder farmers. Especially, the use of mobile devices to access cloudbased applications is a promising approach to deliver value to smallholder farmers in developing countries since according to the International Telecommunication Union, mobile-cellular penetration in developing countries is expected to reach 90% by the end of 2014. This article examines the contexts, mechanisms, processes and consequences associated with cloud computing and big data deployments in farming activities that could affect the lives of developing world-based smallholder farmers. We analyze the roles of big …

Leveraging Technology To Achieve Food Security In Nigeria, Femi Royal
Young African Leaders Journal of Development
In Nigeria today, hunger prevalence is on the rise and in paying attention to the country's food production level, the difficulty experienced in meeting domestic food needs and the challenge in exporting our local products, it is easy to conclude that Nigeria Is food insecure. The petroleum based economic model of the Nigerian economy has made it lose its force as an export led economy and as the government makes effort to diversify the economy towards achieving food security, it is important to learn about how technology can help achieve this objective. This paper reviews recent attempts by some Nigerian …

Big Data Methods For Environmental Data, Wu Bingfang, Zhang Xin, Zeng Hongwei, Zhang Miao, Tian Fuyou
Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)
Resource and environmental monitoring have always been an important part of land sustainable management which ground survey and remote sensing monitoring are two fundamental ways. The crowd sourcing geographic data (CSGD) brought by smart phones provides new opportunity for the ground investigation of resources and environment. Meanwhile, the rapid development of cloud computing makes it possible to allow people to process massive remote sensing data much more efficient and accurate. Compared with traditional data acquisition methods, data in the cloud is easier to acquire and process. Based on this, a big data method for environment monitoring is introduced based on …

Collaborative Heroism: An Empirical Investigation, Dana Klisanin
Heroism Science
Interactive technologies have come to define our culture, and as such, they influence and shape our modes of perception and behavior. This empirical investigation explored the public’s perception of the impact of the Internet on heroism via assessment of a sample population through a process of item generation, sampling, and principal component analysis. A robust 5-component structure emerged with consensus among participants including: 1) Collaboration expands heroic potential; 2) Internet technology expands heroic potential; 3) Heroes are motivated to protect and serve; 4) Heroes are responsive to injustice; 5) Concern for others is a required ingredient. The results extend research …
Is Google Self-Aware?, Gerry Heapes
Is Google Self-Aware?, Gerry Heapes
Irish Communication Review
The field of artificial intelligence evolves incrementally with gradual improvement over time and has relied on the Turing Test as a measure of progress. However human standards of intelligence measurement may not be appropriate to current developments. The platform of cloud computing now provides a means of implementing a kind of ubiquitous awareness unknown to humans before now and a means of augmenting human intelligence. The level of awareness held by Google is explored and some recent developments in the uses of AI programmes for social media are covered. The misinterpretation of these developments is explored and a solution proposed. …
