ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author illustrates the gamut of relationships with address to the constitution of emergent globalities as these are manifest in everyday worlds. He then begins with the world of Big Data, which displays its own qualities of mediatization and contains the seeds of a post-human globality that may be regressive, liberating or both. On the ground, in the quotidian, many of the issues are familiar. For example, take the deployment of emerging ICT technologies for health and welfare provision, especially those based on cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Computational Intelligence. Online social networks are important sources of "Big Data" about people, including their demographics, location, interests, tastes and habits. The author then explains the feature of network Europe – the European Information Society – that is both systematic and resolutely everyday in its aims and appearances. Finally, the author exemplifies the mediatization of everything and ways of being in the digital world.
