v Abstract :
Women 2.0 - Female Lifestyles in a Hyper-Connected World
Rapid global diffusion of the Internet and cellular networks has shown that the information and communication technologies (ICT) meet genuine social needs and business demands. The impact is tremendous: women and men are connected globally (and will be more so in the future), value chains and business processes are being transformed, learning and working are undergoing, in part, extreme changes. How do women participate, shape and create digital life today - e.g. Web 2.0 services, gaming & social networks – and which changes are currently being triggered concerning women's lives tomorrow? The presentation will search for answers to this question and will invite all participants to debated on how future technological & social developments can contribute to improvements in the quality of life of women and foster inter-cultural as well as inter-generational relations worldwide.
