Digital Habits

• ’S ochtends als eerst op laptop/telefoon kijken

• Recognition (face, voice)

• Afhankelijkheid (stopcontacten, batterijen, telefoon)

• Glitch

• Alles vast willen leggen (locatie, beeld, gevoel)

• Interactie

Sherry Turble - Alone together TED talk

You only have to pay attention to the points that interest you. In real time, you can’t control what you’re gonna say. In digital time, we can present ourselves as we want to be (edit, delete: clean up with technology.)

Machines that offer companionship, no one else is listening in ‘real life’ but the machines are. They offer comfort, social robots. Machines that are always there for us and always want to listen to us http://www.npo.nl/dit-is-de-dag-reportage/23-09-2014/VPWON_1230964

We expect more from technology and less from each other.

Project from André Castro, a real-time dialog between chatbots This work consists of a loop where two chatbots - virtual assistants, Anna (from IKEA) and Danny (from DAAD) are put in a chatting situation. Instead of the keywords common to their vocabulary, I introduced terms relative to the Creative Industries. Hope they will be able to help you. http://www.andrecastro.info/a/works.html#bots

Thoughts

Passwords - What happens to all the old ones?

Old/unused social media accounts - What does still exist and are people aware of them? Do they care?

Power/power plugs - We became so dependent on them, they have full power over us. Extension of humanity.

Voice recognition - Let them communicate with each other, no human needed anymore

Face recognition - Influence, glitch

Everything has to be easier/faster, but it actually is getting way more complex. If you look at the ‘A digital tomorrow’ video for example, you see the girl trying to start the car with face recognition. But it won’t recognize her until she has put on all of her make-up. Why do we want this? Why do we want to make everything easier but make it more complicated instead?

MOBILE PHONE IS BEING USED FOR EVERYTHING: Books, writing, checking the time, searching for information; you can do this all on your phone. Everything has been put in one thing, we became so dependent on this tittle device. It has to charged all the time and when it's almost running out of battery we start to panic. We made took the electrical car as a reference. You only have a certain number of spots where you can charge the battery, you have to plan the route your taking otherwise you will be out of current.

Turn yourself into a walking charger: Wearable technology could let us power up mobile phones using our body heat. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2617619/Turn-walking-CHARGER-Wearable-technology-let-power-mobile-phones-using-BODY-HEAT.html

Technology that could one day power your smartphone using just body heat has been developed. Wearable computers or devices have been hailed as the next generation of mobile electronic gadgets, but finding a way to deliver sufficient, long-lasting power has been a problem. Now scientists have come up with a novel solution using a glass and fabric-based thermoelectric generator that could spell a new age of discreet smart technology. When using the generator for a wearable wristband device, it will produce around 40 milliwatts of electric power based on the temperature difference of 0.5°C (31°F) between human skin and the surrounding air. For now it is intended to be suitable for charging small devices like mobile phones.
