Gender researchers have shown not only that the use and design of technologies is gendered, but that people also position themselves in relation to technology, based on certain gendered assumptions about technology in societies. This article looks at how people working in quintessential information and knowledge society professions, namely information communication technology(ICT) work, position themselves in relation to technology. Using a social constructivist framework and a discourse analysis, it shows how gender differences are achieved in communication: men tend to describe technology as a toy, while women tend to describe technology as a tool. This article argues that the way in which people position themselves in relation to technology continues to be gendered, which may threaten gender equality in the information and knowledge society, and it also indicates that there is the possibility of change.

Sustainability has become a significant issue for every enterprise and, in particular, IT management, states the report "Sustainable IT Provision -- Meeting the Challenge of Corporate, Social, and Environmental Responsibility," recently published by Butler Group. An obvious starting point for energy reduction is to ensure that all computer equipment is turned off when it is not being used, enabling power management capability, and having effective asset management where unused equipment is quickly decommissioned. The growing amount of uncontrolled storage cannot be allowed to carry on indefinitely. The time has come to address the mounting disparity between storage management and the growing number of storage devices and capacity.

"Once the rockets go up, who cares where they come down; that's not my department." - Wernher von Braun. 
This case illustrates an underappreciated challenge in data science: creating systems that promote justice. Data systems, similar to von Braun’s
rockets, are too often assumed to be value-neutral representations of fact that produce justice and social welfare as an inevitable by-product of efficiency and openness. Rarely are questions raised about how they affect the position of individuals and groups in society. But data systems both arbitrate among competing claims to material and moral goods and shape how much control one has over one’s life. These are the two classic questions of philosophical justice, raising the question of information justice.
Data is a social process, not just a technical one. 
SDG Topics: No Poverty / Reduced Inequalities / Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions.

A major issue for the world’s poorest communities and those most vulnerable to climate change is the impact of the digital divide, which reduces access to information. Some of these communities are scattered across the Pacific where access to technology and in particular the Internet is limited. For those of us inside the digital revolution, we have become reliant on the power of the Internet to search for information on virtually any topic we like. Most of us will have forgotten what it was like before we had an unending source of information readily available. For those in poor and vulnerable communities information is just as important as is ensuring that where there is access that people can and do engage with the technology.
