Beware the metaphor

This is not a shopping cart

Computer resources over a network

What, who, how much? Why?

Cloudwashing

End user services: social media

End of communications monopoly

"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!
