Pressing Rewind: Stripped-Down Mobile Phones Enjoy Amazing Renaissance! #privacy https://t.co/9EgIGGFtbi

[ッ MEDIOLANA® EDU @Mediolana]

To watch: any electronics manufacturer who can produce a privacy-centred, tactile #smartphone stands to win significant and sticky market share; the thirst for a genuinely different offering is palpable https://t.co/L4S0X44upP

[ッ MEDIOLANA® EDU @Mediolana]

Analysis: the remarkable resurgence in the popularity of the featurephone defies predictions, but the novelty of having one's every move tracked, packaged and sold by Big Tech is starting to wear thin #privacy #BigTech

[ッ MEDIOLANA® EDU @Mediolana]

Conversely, worldwide sales of smartphones contracted by 12.5% in 2020; 2021 saw 1.4bn units shipped #Apple #Android #privacy #tech

[ッ MEDIOLANA® EDU @Mediolana]

Counterpoint: global sales of featurephones were estimated at a stunning 1bn in 2021, up from just 0.4bn in 2019 #tech #Smartphones #featurephones #retro

I Burnout for You: US Workers Crave Four-Day Workweek! #Burnout https://t.co/JkqW6ONVSs

[ッ MEDIOLANA® EDU @Mediolana]

To watch: particularly from the perspective of employees, the US workforce gets a poor deal vis à vis not just Europe, but many emerging economies which boast serious quality of life compensations; human capital flight seems inevitable https://t.co/SxqxpC8EMf #WorkLifeBalance

[ッ MEDIOLANA® EDU @Mediolana]

Analysis: US companies must figure out ways of retaining and motivating staff which are beyond the merely functional; at some point, everyone needs to feel fully human if they are to give of their best #burnout

[ッ MEDIOLANA® EDU @Mediolana]

In contrast to US workers' desires, four-day workweeks are rare, with 95% of workers working a five-day week as of 03/2020 #GreatResignation

[ッ MEDIOLANA® EDU @Mediolana]

Fortune: 53% of US workers are experiencing burnout, while 83% believe that a four-day workweek is part of the solution to this ongoing problem #burnout

Agenda 2030: Chinese Students ‘Will Flock to United Kingdom’! #highered https://t.co/ifFJlJoErd

[ッ MEDIOLANA® EDU @Mediolana]

To watch: the end of the one-child policy (1980-2015) means that China's teenage population is set to rise; UK universities must remain proactive in attracting this critical demographic https://t.co/9bIG3paTTF #China #highered

[ッ MEDIOLANA® EDU @Mediolana]

Analysis: the stampede of Chinese students to British universities means that 1/700 Chinese nationals in the 17-25 age group (0.1428%) will be studying in the UK by 2030 #China #UnitedKingdom #internationalstudents

2022 IHEF: 24,000 of the 50,000 undergraduate applications from China in 2030 are likely to be accepted, representing a 'staggering' 70% absolute increase from the 2021 figure of 14,000 #China #highered #UnitedKingdom

Hitting Fast Forward: Ukrainian Students ‘Enter Warp Drive’! https://t.co/i7aD8tyJmC

[ッ MEDIOLANA® EDU @Mediolana]

To watch: #Ukraine's EU candidacy – which was viewed as incredibly distant until recently – could be dramatically accelerated, but existing candidates may gripe about the endless delays to their own applications https://t.co/1vhf5Gl4jc

[ッ MEDIOLANA® EDU @Mediolana]

Analysis: Ireland's benevolent actions towards Ukrainian students are exemplary, but (i) their acknowledgment that Russian students in Ireland will also be supported; and (ii) that the actions of the Russian state 'are no reflection on its people' also need to be emulated #edchat
