[edit] Ubiquitous and Mobile Social Networks

[edit] Turkle

  • The Tethered Self
    • The interaction of expectation and ubiquitous technology create the "always on" person
      • Are you always reachable?
      • When are you away from technology?
      • Are you ever non-findable?
  • Turkle's romantic notion of space
    • Did we ever really talk to one another? Is this just an imagination of American culture?
      • Does being always-on detract from the quality of interaction? Because your mobile works in Italy, are you having a different vacation experience?
      • Or is it about who is at the "other end" of your technology?
  • The tethered teen
    • Compare Ling/Yttri's notion vs Turkle's
      • Ling - tethers = freedom
      • Turkle - tethers = hegemony
  • The effects of "accessibility and self-discipline"
    • If we're always attached, are consequences also omnipresent?
    • Is it the device, or norms?


[edit] Ling and Yttri

Interesting Datapoint Phonebook population - Post

  • To what extent does the mobile phone subvert parental control?
    • How do young people "communicate around" power boundaries? Examples?
    • Phone as an identity element? Sill valid?
    • Phone has lowered barriers to access; will we see pushback? What are we seeing currently?
  • Micro and hyper-coordination
    • Drawbacks of hyper-coordination? Do you feel too connected?
    • Does hyper-coordination lead to lasting intense relationships?
    • Movements of technology from the "instrumental" to the expressive; a paradigm shift?
