Sherry Turkle’s keynote presentation at the RSA on Wednesday was a real treat for me; it was the first time we’d seen one another since I interviewed her for The Virtual Revolution in November 2009, and since she had published the book she had been working on.

[NPOX10] The Cult of Me: a primer for broadcasters
Thursday September 16, 2010 @ 12:17 PM (UTC)This is the text of my keynote from the NPOX10 Festival, held in September 2010 in Hilversum, Holland
Hello and thank you for inviting me to open this exciting two-day event. I am speaking to you as a woman who wears several hats, including the two that I’m going to focus on today: I am a social psychologist with a particular interest in how information, attitudes and behaviours spread around the Web, and I am a broadcaster and journalist with an interest in the intersection between digital – or ‘interactive’ – media and traditional – or ‘passive’ – media. I like to think that the two hats have a special kind of synergy: an under-the-hood understanding of what makes information influential and compelling, combined with an understanding of the broad library of new pipelines you can tell stories with. Because after all – whether you’re involved in drama, current affairs, entertainment, sports or news – what you as broadcasters are is storytellers. And what seems to be clear is that you think you have no idea how to tell stories to the people taking part in the virtual revolution.

[Wonderlab] Delighted... at Hide & Seek's Wonderlab
Friday July 16, 2010 @ 11:44 AM (UTC)I was invited by Margaret Robertson, Head of Development at the magnificently creative Hide and Seek pervasive play group, to deliver a five minute talk on something that delighted me to the participants of Wonderlab, their three day game design workshop. Not being as familiar with the oeuvre of computer and videogames as I once was, and being all too aware that the eminent people in the room knew just as much about the delightful and playful technologies that currently populate the more interesting corners of the World Wide Web, I chose instead to cram in three offline experiences I’ve recently had that all revel in the glorious and delicious moment of anticipation just before something wonderful and expectedly unexpected happens.

Friday July 18, 2008 @ 11:57 PM (UTC)This post was originally published on socialsim.
I had the pleasure yesterday to chair the New Statesman’s Citizen 2.0: Privacy, security and civil liberties in a digital society Round Table at Portcullis House with a phenomenal array of people who Make Things Happen. Many thanks to Dr. Elizabeth McFarlane who organised the event, which was transcribed and will be released as a special booklet in the next edition of New Statesman magazine. From the event Introduction:
The evolution of the “citizen 2.0” society has lead to increasing concerns around privacy, security and civil liberties. It is true that new, interactive technologies have helped deliver a great many benefits. But, the New Statesman is keen to explore the challenges facing industry and Government as they seek ways to reduce the risks, control abuse and defend the freedoms of individuals.The topics we will cover include:
