Sarah Rudoy is directing a 15-minute student film called "Ouija: For the Record" based on her mother's memoir. It tells the story of a family in 1968 Arizona whose life is affected when they acquire a Ouija board. Rudoy has been studying filmmaking for three years and this will be her biggest project to date. She provides details on the story, crew, and budget of $3,500 which she aims to keep sensible through the use of student volunteers and equipment from NYU where she studies.

Presentation in Swedish from a part of the course "Patentr辰tt 15 hp" on 8 September 2009. First part is about some aspects of patent department work in Swedish companies and the second part is about computer implemented inventions
1) Surveillance has evolved from direct observation under juridical power to indirect control through collecting statistics, norms, and labels that determine subjects.
2) Postmodern societies have entered a stage of simulation where signs no longer represent reality but aim to reproduce it, and truth is self-referential without an independent reality.
3) Constant guidance towards conforming information may be a new form of invisible control that does not provoke resistance, replacing direct surveillance with indirect codes that reproduce subjects in advance.
Is technology making us more introverted and less social? Are selfies making us narcissistic? Or are we entering into a new genre of social behavior, speech and aesthetic.
This document discusses the researcher's work on technology regulation and democracy. It touches on topics such as privacy, surveillance, activism, civil disobedience, and the relationship between technology and society. The researcher argues that technology regulation is inherently linked to democracy, and if technology is not free then neither are people. They discuss debates around how to properly advocate for issues and whether certain actions can be considered true activism or "slacktivism." The work seems focused on understanding how technology impacts culture, power structures, and social change.
This document discusses how maps shape our understanding of the world by including or excluding certain information. It notes that early maps like Ptolemy's focused on regions relevant to the mapmaker, leaving out places they would never go. The document then provides examples of how different factors like driving rules, sports popularity, and policies vary globally. It also discusses how maps can influence social issues and how personalization algorithms may limit what information people see online.
This document discusses oversharing of information on social media and the rise of selfies. It references ideas from author Sherry Turkle about how sharing personal information online can create an illusion of companionship without real friendship. It also includes quotes about how anything new during one's youth seems exciting but unnatural later in life. The document provides examples of oversharing like posting photos of hipsters taking pictures of food. It encourages downloading the full presentation from its online source.
Copyright & Licensing: The progress of science & useful arts Mathias Klang
油
This document discusses copyright and creative commons licensing. It covers topics such as what qualifies for copyright protection under US law, the length of copyright terms, fair use exemptions, the idea-expression dichotomy, differences between copyright and plagiarism, the history and versions of Creative Commons licenses, and choosing an appropriate Creative Commons license for original works. Contact information is provided for the author to discuss using or licensing content.
The document discusses the history of how software was sold and distributed from the early 19th century to present day. It outlines key events like IBM beginning to charge separately for software in 1969 and Richard Stallman's launch of the GNU project in 1984 to create a free Unix-like operating system. Stallman believed software users should have four essential freedoms: to use, study, share, and modify software. This philosophy led to the creation of the GNU General Public License to ensure any versions or modifications of GNU software remained free to use. While open source software has similar goals, the document notes it allows some licenses considered too restrictive by free software advocates.
Academic Writing: Things to think about. Mathias Klang
油
This document discusses various tips and guidelines for writing in academia. It covers what an essay is, the importance of structure, planning, argumentation, and references. It also addresses common concerns like "I can't write" and provides advice like writing is a learned process that improves with practice. The document outlines the typical structure for scientific papers and emphasizes starting writing by brainstorming ideas rather than waiting until the last minute. It cautions against plagiarism and encourages having fun with the writing process.
This document discusses the history and definitions of civil disobedience. It outlines key thinkers who advocated for civil disobedience such as Thoreau, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr. The document also examines different criteria for defining civil disobedience such as being public, non-violent, and done with the intent of changing unjust laws or policies. It questions whether technology changes how civil disobedience can be carried out and provides examples of virtual sit-ins and DDoS attacks.

This document provides a brief history of computing and regulation of online spaces. It traces the development of counting tools in ancient Babylon and China, through early mechanical calculating devices like the Antikythera Mechanism in ancient Greece. It highlights pioneers like Gottfried Leibniz, Charles Babbage, and Ada Lovelace. It discusses the development of computers in the 20th century and the debates around regulating online spaces, referencing works by Stewart Brand, John Perry Barlow, and Lawrence Lessig. The document ends by noting different layers of regulation for technologies like phones.
Public/Private Spaces: Pulling things togetherMathias Klang
油
This document discusses the concepts of public and private spaces. It provides definitions of public spaces as those that are freely accessible to all and where people may encounter strangers, as well as places where political debates occur and "common goods" are discussed. Private spaces are defined as not freely accessible and controlled by owners, as well as individually owned things like thoughts. The document also discusses the "tragedy of the commons" concept and how technology can manufacture new types of public/private spaces.
This document discusses digital divides and net neutrality. It defines a digital divide as a gap between those who have access to information and communication technologies, and the skills to use them, versus those who do not within a given area. It notes factors like cost, technical skills, cultural factors, and knowledge that can contribute to digital divides. It also discusses how some groups like African Americans were more likely to use certain technologies like smartphones or join platforms like Twitter due to different interests compared to other racial groups.
This document discusses several topics related to design and access in cities, including:
1) Segregation patterns in many US cities from the 2000 Census, with racial groups often clustered in separate neighborhoods.
2) An 1854 example from London of Dr. John Snow tracing a cholera outbreak to a contaminated public water pump on Broad Street.
3) The concept of public space as areas generally open and accessible to people, like roads and parks, and how privately owned buildings can still impact the public visual landscape through advertising.
This document discusses the history and development of cities and suburbs. It notes that urban settlements first appeared around 3000 BC and that in 1800 only 3% of the world's population lived in cities, rising to 47% by 2000. It also discusses the post-WWII creation of suburbs like Levittown, which used an assembly-line approach to mass produce homes. Suburbs were highly regulated communities that aimed to give residents a sense of belonging. However, some experts now argue that suburbs have proved financially unsustainable due to their low-density development models.
This document discusses how technology can control and shape society in unintended ways. It references the works of Jeremy Bentham, Michel Foucault, and Robert Moses to argue that technology is not neutral and can either accidentally or deliberately influence human behavior and social organization. The document raises questions about the ethical implications of technology having such power over society.
This document discusses the relationship between technology and ethics. It explores different perspectives on technological determinism and whether technology drives social and cultural changes. The document also examines various ethical frameworks such as utilitarianism, virtue ethics, and discourse ethics. It notes ongoing debates around both optimistic and pessimistic views of technology's impacts and the challenges of balancing censorship with information overload in the digital age.
This document provides an introduction to an introductory course on civic media. The course will focus on how citizens, community groups, and governments are using digital tools and platforms like blogs, Twitter, and graffiti to address social issues and foster civic engagement. Students will read materials from authors like Shirky, Townsend, and Hindman, and complete assignments like blogging, research projects, and using Twitter. The instructor is Mathias Klang and tips are provided to not sprint through the coursework.
This document discusses improving attribution of works shared online through semantic metadata. It notes that while services like Flickr include attribution metadata, Wikipedia lacks sufficient semantic information about contributor attribution. The document proposes making source and attribution information for the thousands of contributors to Wikipedia Commons machine readable. This could help solve problems around storing and retrieving missing metadata when works are reused. It suggests adding semantic attribution data to Wikimedia Commons and working with that community to find solutions that could help start an "#attributionrevolution".
Is that your book? On content & carriersMathias Klang
油
The document discusses the history and changing nature of copying and intellectual property. It explores how copying has evolved from seeing a book's copy as belonging to the original owner, to the Statute of Anne establishing author's rights, to the digital era where everything is a copy. The challenges brought by the digital age are examined, such as information overload, privacy issues, and how copying impacts what we read and how we curate our libraries.
