Weird Turn Pro: Crowdsourcing for CreativesDerek Powazek
This talk was presented on Saturday 8 March at SXSW Interactive 2008.
The internet and web technologies have torn down a lot of walls. But for every new, empowering opportunity, there’s some slimeball trying to make a quick buck off “harnessing user-generated content.” As artists, how do we tell one from the other? And as creators, how do we invite community participation with the respect it deserves? Join internet pioneer Derek Powazek for an inside look at how forward-thinking companies are innovating media by empowering readers to become writers, consumers to become creators. Powazek will share his experiences from Pixish, his new creative community source, and Fray, a book series that sprang from a virtual community; as well as insights on community-first companies online.
Products are Services, how ubiquitous computing changes designMike Kuniavsky
As more products, from tablets to bathroom scales to washing machines go online, our relationship to them changes. We start to think of them as representatives of online services, and to think of services as represented by products. Ubiquitous computing changes our understanding of where the boundaries of a hardware product and a service stop, and fundamentally challenges how we design both.

What Exactly Is The "Internet of Things"?Postscapes
Over the last several years, stories of the technologies making up an Internet of Things have started to slip into public consciousness. As this is occurring, we believe the whole story of Smart Systems and the Internet of Things is not being told. Many of the dispatches coming in from the “front lines” of technology innovation are but fragments of a much larger narrative.
Postscapes collaborated with Harbor Research on an infographic to tell a more complete story about the Internet of Things.
From our perspective, this story is not just about people communicating with people or machines communicating with machines. Smart, connected systems are a technological and economic phenomenon of unprecedented scale, encompassing potentially billions if not trillions of nodes -- an Internet of infinite interactions and values...
Pathways from the Laboratory to Real World ProductsMiniFAB
After 20 years of incubation, Lab-on-a-chip technologies are ready to realize their potential. Critical to achieving this goal is their ability to attract investment. Traditionally there has been a disproportionate emphasis on prototypes in the quest for investment. On too many occasions this disparate focus has created a vicious cycle of expensive and lengthy failures, leaving exciting technologies and ideas in the 'valley of death'.
Understanding user requirements, adopting a design-for-manufacture approach and having a clear idea of what your end-goal looks like can eliminate the dangers of the 'valley of death'.
Another crucial strategy is implementing a staged development strategy that segments the project into manageable, investible and technically achievable stages, concentrating on risk-based developments as opposed to agile ones.
For the investment community, processes such as these represent a mature and disciplined approach to translating lab-on-a-chip technologies from the bench top, into real-world products that address new commercial opportunities.
MiniFAB CEO Dr Erol Harvey presented this talk at Lab-on-a-Chip Asia in Singapore, November 2014.
Beyond Screen - User Experience for the Internet of things.Chris Jackson
This was my presentation at UXNZ (http://www.uxnewzealand.com/) in November of 2015. The focus was on the diverse opportunities that IoT holds for UX, industrial and service designers, and how they need to move beyond screen to make the most of its potential. The talk draws on observations from client work at DNA, my own work at Northwards Design Studio and hosting the IoT Wellington Meetup.
SYNOPSIS:
Chris Jackson has a dream. It’s a dream where intelligent devices of all types communicate clearly with each other, CEOs see past their outdated business models, and user experience designers are freed from the confines of designing for the screen.
At UXNZ, Chris is going to share his dream. He’ll talk about the potential of a new Internet of Things (IoT) and how user experience designers are well placed to help make this dream a reality.
Please excuse the links to video, the original presentation was too large to upload on slideshare with embedded video. I also talk without notes, but hopefully it's simple enough to follow. I am hoping video will appear at some point from the conference organisers.

ABSTRACT GPS is one of the technologies that are used in a huge number of applications today. One of the applications is tracking your vehicle and keeps regular monitoring on them. This tracking system can inform you the location and route travelled by vehicle, and that information can be observed from any other remote location. It also includes the web application that provides you exact location of target and the exact speed the vehicle is moving which is used to generate bills for over speeding automatically. This system enables us to track target in any weather conditions. This system uses GPS and Zigbee technologies. This includes the hardware part which comprises of GPS, Zigbee, ATmega microcontroller and software part is used for interfacing all the required modules and a web application is also developed at the client side and visualize data from IoT. Main objective is to design a system that can be easily installed and to provide platform for further enhancement. KEYWORDS GPS, ZigBee, Tracking System, IoT

The Dark Social: The Future of Sharing - Nik BadmintonSocial Media Camp
As social media fatigue takes hold and more worries about privacy hit consumers we see the social media landscape changing. A recent study has found that 59% of all content sharing activity occurs via ‘Dark Social’, a place with no formal social network beyond true word-of-mouth, IM, SMS and email. This is the way that social will go in the next 3 to 5 years: underground.
This talk will help you understand this phenomenon, get an idea of where it is going and give you practical advice on how to identify it and integrate measurement into your social media measurement frameworks.
Voting Systems - ISSA Chicago Presentation 2020Chris Roberts
One person, one vote… that’s what we keep telling ourselves, although let’s be honest that really isn’t how it works, at least in the US because of the cockeyed electoral college thing, so it’s more like “some states, most of the votes” AND we can break that down even further by “Electoral College, ALL the votes” because they don’t have to give a damn what you think OR who’s most popular in your state.
How to watch out for, create and drive disruption. Amazon, Google, Netflix all asked how can we do things more easily, more affordability, more conveniently. Who will disrupt your business next year?

Bigger than Any One: Solving Large Scale Data Problems with People and MachinesTyler Bell
The informatic challenges of 2013 and beyond are bigger than any one company. This presentation provides an overview of a number of recent, successful crowd-sourced and community-driven applications that combine ‘Big Data’ approaches with Community involvement. The speaker dives into the numbers and specific details of Factual’s approach to large-scale, multi-authored data collection and aggregation, and how the company’s data ethos and business positioning dictates both the shape of its technology and its vision of large-scale, collective data ecosystems.
Big Data make us with superpowers: keep it in mind when thinking how to use itSkender Kollcaku
We will be producing more data every year than in the previous 100,000 years (faster and faster). Data will be mostly processed by machines, a lot of machines.
Data will generate more data (think about engines, self-driving cars, sensors, wearables, unstructured data). New types of data require new interdisciplinary approach (how do you index

Is AI Sexist? How Training Data Can Reinforce Gender StereotypesVery
We often hear about gender inequities in the workplace. On average, women are paid less than men and advance in their careers more rarely. In 2015, the New York Times reported that fewer women ran S&P 1500 firms than men named John.
A lot of factors are at play: the persistence of traditional gender roles (for both men and women), unconscious bias, blatant sexism, lack of role models for girls who aspire to lead or take on less traditionally “female” roles like computer programming.
But could our technology itself be partly to blame? A study titled, “Man is to Computer Programmer as Woman is to Homemaker?” found that machine learning has the potential to reinforce cultural biases. In it, researchers found that a natural language processing program trained on Google News articles exhibited gender stereotypes to, “a disturbing extent.”
In this presentation (originally presented at Scenic City Summit on August 17, 2018) you'll learn:
- What is bias?
- How AI can “inherit” our biases
- How to combat bias in AI
- Companies using AI for good

The slides for my talk at re:publica 2012. From the description of the talk:
Streetlights are online, geiger counters are. Fridges are online for the better part of the last ten years and cars are just now coming online. There’s hardly any consumer electronics left that aren’t in some way communicating on the internet. And with chips getting ever cheaper and ever smaller, even lightbulbs now communicate with the smart phone. There’s houses that tweet and pill cases that send SMS. All in all, there’s more “Things” on the mobile phone networks now than people. Everything’s connected it seems.
How about a little help then in setting it all into context?
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
