"Out of this anarchy… what was governing the infinite monkeys now inputting away on the Internet was the law of digital Darwinism, the survival of the loudest and most opinionated.”
Andrew Keen: Cult of the amateur (2007)
Normalizing the abnormal
Optimism: conversation & convenience
Pessimist talk
This is not a phone
Always online
The end of boredom
“My fear is that these technologies are infantilising the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and who live for the moment.”
Prof. Susan Greenfield
Performance lifestyle
Social networks
ETHICAL CONCERNS
Only technology(spot the ethical dilemma?)
if you're not paying for
something, you're not the
customer; you're the
product being sold
Institutionalized surveillance
The right to be forgotten
National surveillance
"If we don't teach our children to be alone all they will be is lonely" Sherry Turkle
Warrantless surveillance
Who is in control?
What does it all mean?
Old stupidity or new intelligence?
Can we quit? If we quit will we have deep thoughts?
Are those of us who
remember the analogue
age fortunate or
unfortunate?
Remember this?
Monotask queuing
Not knowing
Waiting by THE phone
Technology changes us & we change it
The advantages are huge
The weakest link
My awesome coffee
THANKS!
