IT for Change: Annual Report for 2020-2021
As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to trigger a global reckoning of our current economic, social, and political paradigms, our work this year has focused on conceptualizing and demonstrating what agile digital systems that are meaningful and empowering for individuals, communities, and public institutions can look like.
Towards this goal, IT for Change’s approach has reflected the symbiotic relationship between global and local engagement, through research, advocacy, and demonstration projects. We feel emboldened that our work has gained considerable affirmation.
In the past year, we have grappled with the meaning of digital justice activism at a time like this — when networked individualism threatens the very fabric of society and its institutions as we know them. We see the urgent need to re-articulate human rights through a post-liberal framework, in order to re-instate the collective social.
As we look ahead into the coming year, we hope to confront these challenges head on, standing steadfast on the strength of our beliefs and the solidarity of our allies in our vision for a better world.
We invite you to engage further with our annual report and learn about our work and its impact under specific focus areas on Gender Justice in the Digital Society, Digital Economy and Data Governance, Democratizing Digital Justice, ICTs and Education, and our Prakriye Field Center.

Active learning: “Hands-on” meets “minds-on”
Widespread disruptions to schooling spurred by COVID-19 have amplified long-standing discussions about what high-quality teaching and learning can be. Growing bodies of research and practice, from early childhood to university classrooms and beyond, demonstrate the benefits of moving beyond traditional lecture-driven approaches in favor of “active learning.” Such approaches put students more in the driver’s seat through discussions, in-class questions, and feedback; interactive technologies; and other strategies to engage learners and deepen understanding. Beyond cognitive and academic benefits, active-learning approaches can also provide socioemotional support, particularly for students who may not feel at home in or supported by traditional passive learning. But there is no single active-learning approach. Instead, as the experts below describe, we see a rich and developing portfolio of methods and ideas supporting different ways to produce more effective learning. —Brad Wible

What is an intrusion detection system (IDS)?
An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a system that monitors network traffic for suspicious activity and alerts when such activity is discovered.
While anomaly detection and reporting are the primary functions of an IDS, some intrusion detection systems are capable of taking actions when malicious activity or anomalous traffic is detected, including blocking traffic sent from suspicious Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
An IDS can be contrasted with an intrusion prevention system (IPS), which monitors network packets for potentially damaging network traffic, like an IDS, but has the primary goal of preventing threats once detected, as opposed to primarily detecting and recording threats.
https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/intrusion-detection-system?
What is Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
An intrusion prevention system (IPS) is a network security and threat prevention tool. The idea behind intrusion prevention is to create a preemptive approach to network security so potential threats can be identified and responded to swiftly. Intrusion prevention systems are thereby used to examine network traffic flows in order to find malicious software and to prevent vulnerability exploits.
An IPS is used to identify malicious activity, record detected threats, report detected threats and take preventative action to stop a threat from doing damage. An IPS tool can be used to continually monitor a network in real time.
Intrusion prevention is a threat detection method that can be utilized in a security environment by system and security administrators. These tools are useful for systems as a prevention action for observed events. In addition, with many potential ways that suspicious activity can occur, it is important to have a plan in place for detecting potential attacks.
An intrusion prevention system is made to expand on the base capabilities found in intrusion detection systems (IDSes).

Library vs. framework: How these software artifacts differ
Libraries are low-level components that deliver a specific function, such as establishing a network connection. A framework is a known programing environment, such as Spring Boot.
When a software lead sets out to build a new enterprise application, they must decide which set of libraries and frameworks they want to use. This begs an obvious question: What is the difference between a software library and a framework?
Both a library and a software framework aid in the development of applications. But they key differences between the two relate to the scope of their mandate, and the manner in which they relieve the burden placed on the developer to write code.
Libraries provide components, classes and methods that developers can invoke to perform a specific function. In contrast, a framework provides code that already performs commonly required functions and invokes code provided by a developer when custom functionality is required.

10 microservices patterns all architects should know
Choosing the right design pattern is a critical part of managing a microservices-based architecture. Here are 10 distributed design approaches that all architects should know.
Architects and their development teams will undoubtedly encounter frustrating obstacles once they implement a microservices-based architecture. While the benefits of modularity and deployment flexibility are undeniable, the cost is increased complexity when it comes to service discovery, registration, front-to-back-end integration, architecture resiliency and legacy migration.
As microservices have matured, developers have managed to create architectural design patterns that specifically target these not-so-simple issues. While they won't necessarily use every single one, architects should at least familiarize themselves with the patterns to better understand which design approach will best suit their development and application performance needs.
Let's look at 10 patterns all architects should know and understand no matter where they are in their journey toward a microservices-based architecture.
Magic Quadrant for Multiexperience Development Platforms (includes NoCode-LowCode platforms)
Multiexperience development platforms provide software engineering teams with a productive way to create rich, interconnected user experiences across web, mobile, conversational, digital twin, IoT and AR applications. This research evaluates MXDP vendors based on their vision and execution.
Some MXDP vendor offerings overlap with the low-code application platform (LCAP) market. While most MXDPs do support low-code methods to help improve developer productivity, low-code-oriented MXDPs must also support more technical development tools and custom coding. Low-code development is not the primary purpose of MXDPs. Rather, they are designed to help software engineers to create apps that, with their sophisticated user experience, allow people to use the devices, touchpoints and interaction modalities they prefer while having a consistent, seamless experience as they transition between them. All MXDPs must meet the above definition and provide the requisite capabilities, regardless of whether they use low-code development approaches.

How Much Data Is Created Every Day? [27 Staggering Stats]
“Data is the new oil” is perhaps one of the most popular catchphrases highlighting the importance of data. The metaphor is, admittedly, a bit inaccurate, but it paints a picture of our collective online footprint concerning the global economy and our digital lifestyle.
But how much data is created every day? Frankly, there is no definitive answer to this basic question. The Googles, Amazons, and Facebooks of the world could not keep count even if they wanted to.
Luckily, we can advance our knowledge of the data-driven world with the fascinating statistics and facts below.

Human Data Interaction (HDI): The New Information Frontier
After more than 40 years in the field, Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is already a well-established design discipline. Now, the pervasiveness of big data, new data collection and interaction techniques is giving rise to a new but related discipline: Human Data Interaction (HDI). This is likely to be a field with major new opportunities for designers and analysts in the coming decades.
Human Data Interaction, until recently, has been as prosaic as the data itself; small sets of data which were manipulated for specific purposes. With the advent of massive databases and new tools with which to collect, manipulate and analyse data there is a need to examine these interactions in greater detail.
The Building Blocks of Visual Design
Visual design is about creating and making the general aesthetics of a product consistent. To create the aesthetic style of a website or app, we work with fundamental elements of visual design, arranging them according to principles of design. These elements and principles together form the building blocks of visual design, and a firm understanding of them is crucial in creating a visual design of any product.
Here, we’ll introduce you to the elements of visual design: line, shape, negative/white space, volume, value, colour and texture. While a close examination of each element is usually not necessary in your daily work as a designer, the principles of design — how to place the elements together to build pages and app screens optimally — play a crucial part in your role. Learning how to achieve unity, gestalt, hierarchy, balance, contrast, scale, dominance, and similarity will reward you time and again. Here, we will also show you how you should consider placing these indispensable visual elements to make the maximum impact. So, let’s begin.

The power of white space
We want to show you a tool so vital that it may amaze you as a designer. It’s as underrated as silence between musical notes. However, it’s powerful enough to mean keeping people on your page – survival, in other words.
Many elements form the layout and structure of an interactive design. Often neglected, one of the most vital is white space (or negative space), the space found inside and surrounding the other design elements.
For a website or app, many different visual elements make up the layout. These include typography, drawn lines, icons, images, etc. Imagine a painting; these parts are the painted bits. However, what do they all need to form that painting? They need a canvas! White space is like a canvas: it’s the background that holds the elements together in a design, enabling them to stand out.
Let’s see why designing the white space is so important.

How rainbow colour maps can distort data and be misleading
The choice of colour to represent information in scientific images is a fundamental part of communicating findings. However, a number of colour palettes that are widely used to display critical scientific results are not only dangerously misleading, but also unreadable to a proportion of the population.
For decades, scientists have been pushing for a lasting change to remove such palettes from public consumption, but the battle over universal accessibility in science communication rages on.
A colour map is a palette of multiple different colours that assign values to regions on a plot. An example of a misleading colour map is rainbow, which generally starts with blue for low values, then passing through cyan, green, yellow, orange, and finally red for high values. This colour combination is neither diverging, which would allow us to visually perceive a central value, nor sequential, which would make organizing values from low to high intuitive.

The Metaverse is Taking Over the Physical World
The virtual world is expanding with real world avatars and digital economy.
A metaverse is a group of persistent, shared 3D virtual environments where you (in the form of your digital avatar) can visit places, shop for products, subscribe to services, work with your colleagues, play games, and even customize the scenes around you to meet your personal tastes and requirements, and the digital assets you own. So essentially, a metaverse is a virtual world or worlds, that would allow you to go inside the digital world — to be in rather than on the digital space.
The concept of a metaverse has been depicted in The Matrix, Pokemon Go, Minority Report, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Black Mirror, and countless other movies, video games, and TV shows. However, people still await to experience an immersive metaverse in the real world. Interestingly, companies like Facebook and Microsoft have already announced million-dollar plans directed towards the creation of the metaverse.

How to take better photos with your smartphone, thanks to computational photography
Each time you snap a photo with your smartphone – depending on the make and model – it may perform more than a trillion operations for just that single image.
Yes, you expect it to do the usual auto-focus/auto-exposure functions that are the hallmark of point-and-shoot photography.
But your phone may also capture and stack multiple frames (sometimes before you even press the button), capture the brightest and darkest parts of the scene, average and merge exposures, and render your composition into a three-dimensional map to artificially blur the background.
The term for this is computational photography, which basically means that image capture is via a series of digital processes rather than purely optical ones. Image adjustment and manipulation take place in real time, and in the camera, rather than in post-production using any editing software.
Computational photography streamlines image production so everything – capture, editing and delivery – can be done in the phone, with much of the heavy lifting done as the picture is taken.

Viral TikTok video disrupts scientific studies
In July, Sarah Frank, a recent high school graduate from Florida, posted a 56-second video on TikTok about how to make some extra cash by filling out surveys on a website used by scientists to conduct their behavioural research. Within a month, her video was viewed by 4.1 million people and sent tens of thousands of new users to the site. Instead of a typically wide mix of survey participants, the scientists now had to deal with a sudden demographic shift.

What is customer intelligence?
Customer intelligence (CI) is the process of gathering and analyzing information derived from customer data that an organization collects from both internal and external sources. The purpose of CI is to understand customer motivations better in order to drive future growth and improve the customer journey.
Internal customer data can be generated by any customer interaction and is typically stored in corporate databases, call center systems and sales systems. Data external to the organization can be gathered from many different sources. Sales and marketing teams in a variety of industries -- such as banking, retail, telecommunications and consumer goods -- work with this data.

Six problem-solving mindsets for very uncertain times
Great problem solvers are made, not born. That’s what we’ve found after decades of problem solving with leaders across business, nonprofit, and policy sectors. These leaders learn to adopt a particularly open and curious mindset, and adhere to a systematic process for cracking even the most inscrutable problems. They’re terrific problem solvers under any conditions. And when conditions of uncertainty are at their peak, they’re at their brilliant best.
Six mutually reinforcing approaches underly their success: (1) being ever-curious about every element of a problem; (2) being imperfectionists, with a high tolerance for ambiguity; (3) having a “dragonfly eye” view of the world, to see through multiple lenses; (4) pursuing occurrent behavior and experimenting relentlessly; (5) tapping into the collective intelligence, acknowledging that the smartest people are not in the room; and (6) practicing “show and tell” because storytelling begets action
Renewable Energy Paradox: Solar Panels and Their Toxic Waste
Cradle-to-grave solar panels are not as "green" as we are led to believe.
Around the world, there is a massive push to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels for various reasons – chief among them the preservation of our home planet. Among the various strategies being developed, one tends to receive the most attention – renewable technologies, like solar panels.
Touted as being completely sustainable, such claims often gloss over – or worse, ignore – the very real damage caused through the production and use of this technology. Just like wind turbines, solar panels may have a darker side to their existence than most truly appreciate.
That's not to say that solar PV panels should be abandoned outright, but that a more honest, and realistic, conversation be had about them.
To give you some idea of the scale of the problem, you can peruse some interesting data provided here. To give you the gist of it, this study, conducted by environmental journalists who favor nuclear power found that solar panels (over their lifetime) create somewhere in the region of 300 times more toxic waste per unit of energy than nuclear power plants.

On Digital Health ID, proceed with caution
On September 27, 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Digital Health ID project (DHID), generating debate on issues related to the use of technology in a broken health system. In an interview, R S Sharma, the architect of DHID, stated that the key objective of DHID was to “improve the quality, access and affordability of health services” by making the service delivery “quicker, less expensive and more robust”. The ambition is undoubtedly high. Given that health systems are highly complex, would DHID be able to address some of the issues plaguing it? What are the pros and cons of DHID?

Understanding the early-life origins of suicide: Vulnerability may begin even before birth
Suicide is a tragic event. Unfortunately, every 40 seconds, a person dies by suicide. Beyond the premature loss of an individual’s life, more that 100 people may be affected by each suicide, including family, friends and community members.
People considering their own death have often gone through long periods of intense suffering and internal struggles. They may have endured mental illness and experienced a range of adverse life events. Helping people suffering from a mental disorder and/or going through a difficult time is therefore of the utmost importance to preventing suicide.
However, evidence from research conducted in the past two decades has highlighted that suicide is not only the result of such contributing factors around the time of death. Instead, vulnerability to suicide may build up throughout the course of life. It may start with events occurring very early in life, in the perinatal period and infancy, that have long-lasting influences on suicide in adulthood.
