Study 1.    Time Inc . Study Reveals That "Digital Natives" Switch Between Devices and Platforms Every Two Minutes, Use Media to Regulate Their Mood The findings include: Digital Natives switch their attention between media platforms (i.e. TVs, magazines, tablets, smartphones or channels within platforms) 27 times per hour , about every other minute. Because Digital Natives spend more time using multiple media platforms simultaneously, their emotional engagement with content is constrained. They experience fewer highs and lows of emotional response and as a result, Digital Natives more frequently use media to regulate their mood - as soon as they grow tired or bored, they turn their attention to something new. At home, Digital Natives take their devices from room to room with them (65% vs. 41% for Digital Immigrants) - rarely more than an arm's length away from their smartphones - making switching platforms even easier. More than half (54%) of Digital Natives sa

The deep packet inspection techniques proposed by the UK government represent a “really serious” breach of privacy, according to S TBL speaking during his keynote speech at W3C. Talking about the  controversial Communications Capabilities Development Programme , the inventor of the web said: “Somebody clamps a deep packet inspection (DPI) thing on your cable which reads every packet and reassembles the web pages, cataloguing them against your name, address and telephone number either to be given to the government when they ask for it or to be sold to the highest bidder — that’s a really serious breach of privacy.”

As we have a large and growing group in the UK and London of those interested in: identity, user centric identity, internet identity, vrm, personal data, digital lockers, digital footprint, personal identifiable data (pii) and personal data eco-systems…. And as an outcome from Doc visit to London in April we have decided to try and bring the community together and start a regular (monthly) meet-up/ open working space/ un-conference/ discussion/ for us to meet up and move forward with sharing and achieving. This also builds on a workshop Iain Henderson and I put on at Innovation Warehouse on Personal Data Store interoperability in April ( write up by Phil is here )  and so the outcome is that we have decided that we should do a wider reaching day with Kaliya Hamlin @IdentityWoman when she was in London with Drummond Reed, Phil Windley and many others for the WEF tiger team on Personal data.  The purpose is to move forward the conversation, solutions and projects and from this we pla

Over on Doc Searls weblog he posted What and who are we? And this started me thinking about some other terms…how we accept something have always been. I normalised by view from looking at microprocessor vs transistor. See the full gallery on Posterous

Over at BuzzMachine on @jeffjarvis’s blog his opening on recent post called Social (network) Pressure is “By adding an organ-donation tool to Facebook , Mark Zuckerberg is setting up a dynamic of social pressure for virtue. Is that always good?” This is a great question as it moves the debate on from public, private, trust and identity [which you can spend a life debating and get no where.]  Why then is it a good question?  To me it is one of the new Digital Dilemmas, Digital Scruples, Digital Insights about humanity as it focus is on expectation, experience and context.  It is one that Data cannot tell you, yet…. how you should respond. I love the comment stream on this post as it hits right at why we are human. More social will not remove our ‘innovative’ opinions, move over tech world the anthropologists are coming through.
