Privacy and Surveillance in Web 2.0

Considering a more contextual notion of privacy in the Web 2.0 universe, the fact remains that many users of the systems openly share streams of personal information, while also surveilling the personal information made available by friends and strangers alike. Instances of peer-to-peer surveillance, amateur data mining, etc abound in the Web 2.0 world

Smart phone to replace the wallet

Smart cell phones will likely become a primary interface with the Internet. This will be economically a good move because if you don't have cash or credit cards on you then you tend to spend less. Financially this is always a good decision to not overspend. The cell phone is possibly the most significant invention of this century, almost like the automobile was in the last century. Cell phones will change how we live and think. I think we'll start to see more of what's happening Global in Japan and Korea, where mobile phones will replace our wallets and we'll be a cashless society. We'd be able to pay for things by simply waving our phones in front of a payment terminal. From a location perspective, phones are getting smarter in knowing where we are, so we may move into a future where we use our phones to shop.

Dale Dougherty: We are makers

http://www.ted.com/talks/dale_dougherty_we_are_makers.html

America was built by Technological makers -- curious, enthusiastic amateur inventors whose tinkering habit sparked whole new industries. Economically they  helped people make a lot of money. They created a cultural interaction nationally and global.

Dale Dougherty says we're all makers at heart, and shows cool new tools to tinker with, like Arduinos, affordable 3D, even DIY satellites.
