Productivity paradox
Glass consumer: We are all 'glass consumers'. Organisations know so much about us, they can almost see through us. Governments and businesses collect and process our personal information on a massive scale. Everything we do, and everywhere we go, leaves a trail. But is this in our interests? The glass consumer appraises this relentless scrutiny of consumers' lives. It reviews what is known about how personal information is used and examines the benefits and risks to consumers. The book takes the debate beyond privacy issues, arguing that we are living in a world in which - more than ever before - our personal information defines our opportunities in life.

Three strands of de- bates on surveillance are introduced here. The first is the discussion on technologies used for surveillance. The second is the enticement of individuals to share information for rewards or incentives. Finally, the synoptic view is discussed, which is reverse surveillance where the observed watch those doing the surveillance. Deductively arguing by exploring the various works under these arguments, Elmer proposes his diagrammatic view of surveillance, in which, subjects are not simply profiled or surveyed, rather they are both rewarded for participating in the surveillance and punished if they choose to opt-out.

Media Life is a course intended for undergraduate students across campus. Its goal is to make people aware of the role that media play in their everyday life. The key to understanding a "media life" is to see our lives not as lived WITH media (which would lead to a focus on media effects and media-centric theories of society), but rather IN media (where the distinction between what we do with and without media dissolves). less
