Streams: Continuous partial attention to screensStacks: Immersion in deep divesSnacks: Info-dosing in free moments

Attention allocation29Identity shifts Birth realities are joined by my tribes

Sousveillance ordinary watch powerful Coveillance peers check up on peers

31Big change 2: It has networked information

Pervasively generatedPervasively consumedPersonal via new filtersParticipatory / socialLinkedContinually edited

Multi-platformedReal-time / just-in-timeTimeless / searchableGiven meaning via networks / algorithmsThird skin32Big Change 3: It has changed the civic ecosystemMore nichesMore topics of discussion (and different news agendas thanks to fifth estate)More alliances - para-government activities (peer progressivism)More DIY capabilitiesMore argumentsMore disclosure of all kindsMore people in decision-making spaces -- wisdom of crowds and the filtering capacity of algorithms exert influence More evidence of everything humans do:Love, HateAltruism, StupidityDis- + En-gagement

More fracturing of peoples time use and attention

35What really isnt so 2People live in echo chambers in their social networks and information practices

36What really isnt so 3Peoples views about privacy are binary and immutable

37Next revolutionsMore tech power - bandwidth, computing power, appsBetter Web + better apps -- expanded search into video and audio plus the semantic web plus analyticsNew interfaces haptic, voice, collaborative, brainInternet of Things: Smart appliances and systems (tech becomes less visible)3D and 4D printing38
