More than nine out of 10 12-year-olds in the UK nowhave 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.

Continuous Partial Attention

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"

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. Shaping Things 134)

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.

A Vertigo of Choice

http://tinyurl.com/2zo3yl

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.

By the time they complete their A levels, ... children have racked up:

10,000 hours playing video games 200,000 emails and texts sent and received 10,000 hours of digital mobile phone use 20,000 hours of watching TV 500,000 TV adverts watched just 5,000 hours of book reading

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.”

The context of the experience is hard to predict.

Mobile Social Games

Mobile data not just for work but also for leisure

When I walk through the streets of Brooklyn my cell phone gets short SMS reminders from the land of Google calendar that get me going.

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?

Do you hear objects whisper to other networked objects?

Tête-à-tête of things? A “thing-ly” takeover?

http://tinyurl.com/2ts2qe

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.

For the obscenely wealthy- Rem Koolhaas' Broadway Prada store offers a service that charges the object of your desire to your credit card merely by exiting the store with it.

Our Own Rules for the Social Web and the Power to Enforce Them

How do we exercise our power? By what protocols and agreements, tools, and policies to manage the asymmetrical relationship between platform owners and users ?

One ID or one storage place for profiles

One Friends list – mobile phone and online

One subscription service – RSS, widgets…

Bill of Rights

We publicly assert that all users of the social web are entitled to certain fundamental rights, specifically:

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.

http://datasharingsummit.com/Bill%20of%20Rights

or co-ownership (Hodder)

http://tinyurl.com/3bjgd7

We own our navigational access stream

We own the list of our friends

http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/mommy-child-locator.html

We own our location

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; andAllow 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.

http://openid.net/

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
