next chapter The Human Dimensions: Co-evolution Between Humans and Digital Technologies
Footnotes
1
List of emerging ICTs that are bringing new, ethical concerns includes: affective computing, ambient intelligence, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, future internet, human–machine symbiosis, neuroelectronics, quantum computing, robotics, virtual/augmented reality (The ETICA research project http://​www.​etica-project.​eu/​).

The environment in which human beings now live has been defined as “the infosphere” (Floridi 2013), meaning a global environment ultimately made of information in which biological organisms and engineered artefacts co-exist.

Three distinct type of young tech users are:
Digital orphans: have grown up with a great deal of tech access, but very little guidance. Orphans might end up prioritizing online networks over face-to-face interactions, leading to shaky interpersonal skills. Without reflecting on the consequences of technology, they could end up bringing some of the worst of the Internet into offline society, instead of actively working to elevate on- and offline life.
Digital exiles: have been raised with minimal technology. This might lead to conflict because the rest of society has embraced digitalization. This might also lead to a rejection of technology.
Digital heirs: have impressive tech skills because their adult mentors have encouraged and directed their tech education, enrolling them in classes and conversing with them about being responsible Internet users. Due to their higher levels of tech understanding, heirs could face challenges in dealing with their less knowledgeable peers, playing a role in mentoring the rest of their generation to use and shape the Internet.

This idea is also at the fundamental of the Japanese concept of Society 5.0 (Harayama 2017).

Digital maturity refers to a continuous and ongoing process of adaptation to a changing digital landscape. Digital maturity draws on a psychological definition of “maturity” that is based upon a learned ability to respond to the environment in an appropriate manner.
