En este artículo se lleva a cabo una reflexión acerca la explosión geográfica, los procesos de cambio acontecidos en los últimos decenios en la Geografía y la Cartografía a raíz de la aparición de los Tecnologías de la información Geográfica.El texto se centra en la transición digital en la Cartografía y la Geografía observando las fases de esta transición desde sus inicios hasta la actualidad en que ambas especialidades se proyectan más allá de los entornos académicos habituales hacia la sociedad en lo que se conoce como Geografía colaborativa.

The transition from the traditional 4:3 to the widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio has been making steady progress in Europe. However, for a complete widescreen transition to be accomplished, the 16:9 format must begin to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the development of digital transmission. There are powerful commercial incentives for broadcasters to shift from analogue to digital transmission : any policy designed to promote 16:9 widescreen must therefore attempt to influence broadcasters' aspect ratio choice in the digital transition. It will be important firstly for broadcasters to transmit their schedule simultaneously in 4:3 analogue and in 16:9 digital widescreen and second for consumers to be encouraged to upgrade to digital via purchasing integrated digital widescreen TV sets rather than by attaching set-top boxes to their existing analogue 4:3 sets.

Cette note de lecture s’attarde sur Le service public médiatique à l’ère numérique, ouvrage où les auteurs Gaëtan Tremblay, Aimé-Jules Bizimana et Oumar Kane comparent la transition numérique de la Société Radio-Canada avec celle de la BBC et de France Télévisions. Bien que les services publics médiatiques occidentaux soient touchés par de multiples crises économiques, politiques ou identitaires, il ressort de cette étude qu’ils répondent avec succès au défi de l’ère numérique, notamment grâce à la délinéarisation et à la personnalisation des contenus., This review focuses on the book Le service public médiatique à l’ère numérique, in which the authors Gaëtan Tremblay, Aimé-Jules Bizimana and Oumar Kane compare the digital transition of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation with the BBC and France televisions. Although Western media public services are affected by multiple economic, political or identity crises, they successfully respond to the challenge of the digital age, notably through the de-linearization and personalization of viewing patterns.

Precision agriculture technologies (PAT) are very diversified. The proliferation of precision agriculture products and services, as well as of their providers can confuse farmers. In addition, the lack of agronomic references for these technologies is slowing their adoption. The organization and development of the distribution network can help the providers of PAT to support farmers and other end customers. This study describes how PAT are being addressed by ordinary dealers of agricultural machinery and equipment. We aimed at identifying the main trends in the distribution of PAT among dealers, as well as the obstacles and the expected added value of these technologies for their business. We focused on metropolitan France as the first European country for agricultural production and highly committed to the development of agtech. A series of semi-direct interviews was realized on a sample covering the main tractor manufacturers on the national territory, the involvement of the dealer manager in the national trade union (i.e., SEDIMA) and already offering PAT. The interview consisted of four parts: (i) current offer by the dealership and level of PAT use/equipment by customers; (ii) 5-years strategy of the dealership about these technologies; (iii) changes in personnel (recruitment, training, etc.) and organization related to these new products/services; (iv) identification of expected added value and obstacles. The notes taken during the phone interviews were coded into themes and topics to ensure harmonization and comparability, then analyzed to provide summary statistics, and to identify main trends and recommendations about the distribution of PAT., Slides available at https://www.slideshare.net/pievarino/distribution-of-precision-agriculture-technologies-a-first-survey-of-french-dealerships

La créativité stimule l’innovation (Wolfe, 2007); elle joue ainsi un rôle important dans le développement économique à l’ère numérique. Le milieu des arts et de la culture, passé maître dans la pratique créative, apparaît dès lors comme une composante clé des écosystèmes entrepreneuriaux (ÉE). Dans un contexte où la transition numérique des collectivités dépend de la transversalité sectorielle (Caron et collab., 2020), nous nous intéressons aux apports du milieu des arts et de la culture dans le développement des ÉE. À travers une étude de cas basée sur l’évolution d’un projet de hub créatif, nous préciserons les dynamiques à l’oeuvre dans la structuration intersectorielle des ÉE. Ce faisant, nous ouvrirons la réflexion sur les notions d’innovation ouverte, de créativité et de codéveloppement à l’ère numérique., Creativity stimulates innovation (Wolfe, 2007); it thus plays an important role in economic development in a digital age. The arts and culture community, master of creative practice, is a key component in entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs). In a context where the digital transition of communities depends on sectoral transversality (Caron et al., 2020), we are analyzing the contributions of the arts and culture community in the development of EEs. Through a case study based on the evolution of a creative hub project, we will specify the dynamics at work in the intersectoral structuring of EEs. In doing so, we will focus our attention on notions of open innovation, creativity and co-development in the digital era.
