More than nine out of 10 12-year-olds in the UK now
have a mobile phone, a survey has suggested.
Almost 80% of the young people who took part in the
research said they felt safer having a mobile and that they
had a better social life as a result.

The Pew Internet and American Life Projects surveyed more
than 1200 professionals in 2004 about their prediction of the
next decade of the Internet. They saw a more ubiquitous
Internet embedded in miniaturized devices, clothes, cars,
appliances, and they thought that \"these networked devices will
allow greater surveillance by governments and businesses.\"

Facilitating arguably isolationist \"conversations\"
Wednesday, November 28, 2007 17
We meet and “friend” more and more people in a
mobile world. At the same time individuals
experience more and more isolation and anxiety.

Sterling is aware of the netherworld of networked
labor when he draws parallels to coal miners,
clarifying that today's coal miners of sorts may
well have pristine white skin. (They sit, type and
stare at screens. All day, every day. It ends up
hurting them. It hurts them in ways that are slow
enough and subtle enough to steal up on them.

A Vertigo of Choice
Today, we are swamped with trivial choices, which plague
us with anxiety and depression. Noise is shot at us with
increasing speed. Every step you make, every breath you
take-- you have to respond to one influx or the other.

The more we teach this megacomputer, the more it will
assume responsibility for our knowing. It will become our
memory. Then it will become our identity. In 2015 many
people, when divorced from the Machine, won't feel like
themselves - as if they'd had a lobotomy.

10,000 hours of digital mobile phone use

500,000 TV adverts watched

The first time I saw internet addiction officially
announced as a problem among China's youth was
in an article about a December, 2006 report from the
Central Committee of the Communist Youth
League. The report estimated that more than two
million Chinese children and teenagers were
addicted to the internet. The situation was called a
\"severe social problem that could threaten the
nation's future.\"

Bullying by mobile phone
“Mobile phones are a popular choice for bullies. Text
messages provide complete anonymity. Many pay-as-
you-go mobile phones can be bought over the
counter and do not require proof of identity, nor is
any record kept of the new owner. Calls made from
these types of mobile phone are difficult to trace.”

Then I sit in the park or cafe and enjoy the availability of a
free wireless network. Its node just communicated with my
laptop, both are amenable to each other until there is a
stronger commercial signal that may overwhelm them. This
battle over free or for-pay wireless network matters- free
networks set expectations. Why would I go to elsewhere when I
can get access here for free?

Tête-à-tête of things? A “thing-ly” takeover?
Do you hear objects whisper to other networked objects?

Networked objects are around and they make some things
easier and they join our conversations by contributing
data. We often attach affect to these networked things.
How do all these things make us feel? Will children
demand even more “screen time” from their parents?
What would an emancipatory relationship with a
networked object look like? Should we assume that
there would be no exploitation of labor, no class
differences, no poverty, no people without heath
insurance, and no people without access to hardware or
the network of networks in that near future scenario?
What would a \"unaligned alliance\" of networked objects
look like?

New fences in the public sphere(s)
We already co-inhabit, co-perform in one world with all these
networked objects. We experience the convergence of web
technology, wireless networks and portable devices.

asymmetrical relationship between platform owners and

Bill of Rights
We publicly assert that all users of the social web are entitled to
certain fundamental rights, specifically:
or co-ownership (Hodder)
Ownership of their own personal information, including:
- their own profile data
- the list of people they are connected to
- the activity stream of content they create;
Control of whether and how such personal information is
shared with others; and
Freedom to grant persistent access to their personal
information to trusted external sites.

Bill of Rights
Sites supporting these rights shall:
Allow their users to syndicate their own profile data, their
friends list, and the data that’s shared with them via the
service, using a persistent URL or API token and open data
formats;
Allow their users to syndicate their own stream of activity
outside the site;
Allow their users to link from their profile pages to external
identifiers in a public way; and
Allow their users to discover who else they know is also on
their site, using the same external identifiers made available
for lookup within the service.

Profile and registration data: How do we quantify
and manage profile data across lots of different
sites. This is your first/last name, email address,
avatar, etc. All of these create your profile.
Profile update push: I’ve updated something in my
profile and now I would like to push it to all of the
sites that use this data. New email address? Great,
push it out to all of the sites (or IMHO - get it from
on place all the time). http://tinyurl.com/26c36h
