The power of new media
SOCIOTECHNICALis the word and the keynote
Sociotecnical aspects are what really matters
Technology is not magic…
…technology is human
What really matters: CONTENT
People’s motivation comes from content.
Content should mean interesting things
PEOPLE What’s people interested for? What
other people do
HUMAN RELATIONS THROUGH CONTENT It’s not a computers network but a
brains network. Brains mean people
So pay attention not to machines but people
CONTENT + PEOPLE +HUMAN RELATIONS THROUGH TECHNOLOGY =
PEOPLE IS RELEVANT. MACHINES ARE NOT Only when machines are related to
people become relevant. What people do with machines = SOCIOTECHNICAL

and the way your personal digital network i nteracts with people
Build brand and career together Do not sell yourself, communicate
what you do Let the things you do talk about you Never lie, never cheat, be sincere
and real Say “I don’t know how to” and say
too “I’m really good doing this”
Foster your talent
Follow your intuition and discover what is you like most
Devote your efforts to your deep motivation(and if you don’t have one, go in quest of one).
Do what you do best and what you like the most
Transform your hobby in a profession Run risks, make mistakes, even fail and
fail again… and learn of it all
Everyone’s got talent (even if doesn’ know) Write down what you do best. YOUR
STRENGHTS Write down what makes you fail.
YOUR WEAKNESS Put your strengths to work. ACT
FROM WHO YOU ARE Turn your weakness into strenght. BE
WHO YOU ARE AND NO OTHER PERSON
