Social Networks Dominance in News, Media, Education, Governance, Commerce. We are much more social than ever before Online social networks (SNS) permeate our lives Such new Life style gives birth to new markets Monetize the value of social networks SNS applications: advertising, e-commerce, e-banking, healthcare information, Crowdsourcing manufacturing (e.g. drones) Integrity of information dissemination? Small-world effect Scale-free distribution Community structure 11

Impact Education -- Training Develop and sustain computational thinking Distinguish data from information augmented intelligence Drive data analytics for better decision making and not the other way around learn to evaluate and validate data analytics Data integrity, security, trust and privacy Compositional synthesis, manufacturing and life-cycle management of complex engineered systems IT and informed patients only hope for lowering cost and improving quality in healthcare Collaboration and supply chains no vertical business models Institute and maintain a culture that welcomes reviews, evaluations, feedback, risk-taking Increased use of hands-on and life-long education Balance automation and productivity vs quality of life Encourage cooperation and consensus in work and life Incorporate ethics in all education and training emerging dilemmas (e.g. health care, class structure, digital divide ) 16
