The Human Information System -Wearable Computing, Quantified Self and Ethical Computing
This document discusses a presentation about existence and the implications of digital technology on human behavior and identity. It covers several key topics: - How digital systems collect and organize vast amounts of personal data about individuals. - The challenges of having one's identity, behavior, health and environment tied to many different digital platforms and systems. - Potential solutions like focusing on designing technology for contemplation rather than just attention, and putting kindness into all digital products and services. - Implications such as "behavior as a platform," "environment as an interface," and "identity as a platform" as personalization and everything becoming programmable blurs the lines between people and technology. - The need for ethical
