Community Networking
Description
This symposium is organised on the occasion of the retirement of Jaap van Till, lecturer at the Hogeschool Arnhem en Nijmegen (HAN).
The Telecommunications Department of KIVI NIRIA, the NERG and the HAN have joined forces to make this an exciting afternoon. The symposium will consider various aspects of 'community networking'; a theme that has intrigued Jaap van Till for decades and to which he has also actively contributed.
More and more applications, large but also small, are conceived by individual, inventive minds and are becoming wildly popular at record speed. Many of these are related to 'community networking'. YouTube, Hyves, LinkedIn and Flickr are some well-known examples. Other applications offer practical solutions to existing user needs. The application 'Train' is one such application and is very popular among iPod and iPhone users. This programme makes creative and innovative use of a number of resources, which were already available in various places, but had never before been combined in this way.
This symposium looks at the social factors that make young people in particular embrace these new applications. In addition, the developer of the application 'Train' will talk about the creation of his application and the reaction to it from users and companies
