IoT and the Internet of Me in an UntetheredWorld Dr. Julie M. Albright, USC
Were living in a time of digital transformation Technology Behavior Technology and behavior are increasingly intertwined Double Helix of Technology and Behavior
Triad of Technological Immersion Untethered Society - Unhooking from traditional processes/ structures while hyper attached to digital technologies Internet of Me: More critical processes getting wired into the Net - tailored to your preferences - including the quanti鍖ed self - digital health, alerting for heart attacks etc. The Internet of Them - IoT and the emergence of AI (ex: IBM Watson) and robotics / automation (e.g., human out of the loop)
Growing Up Digital Young adults today grew up in a world where there always was an Internet Kids today (Gen Z) - grew up in a world where there always was mobility (e.g., Internet enabled smartphones) Theyll grow up in a world where technology is increasingly embedded in the physical world in The Internet of Things and where soon, interacting with things and AI enabled digital agents will become commonplace Babies are now acquiring digital skills before language rewiring their brain neuro- pathways

Coming untethered Young people are unhooking from traditional social structures - theyre not going to getting married, buying a house, having kids, staying at a career for years. buying a car going to churchjoining a political party. The majority of high school kids now have never been in a relationship Contrast that with many Post World War II folks marrying their high school sweetheart But theyre hyper-attached to digital technologies
Most Millennials and younger sleep with their cellphones
Global phenomenon
Addictive qualities keep us coming back for more Socially connected technologies have behavioral drivers baked into the design In a study of students in 10 countries, a clear majority experienced distress when they tried to go without their devices for 24 hours.
One armed bandit - slot machines. Sometimes you win, sometimes you dont (Psychology = random reinforcement) Gambling Addiction Scrolling on social media much the same: Content can be exciting, interesting - or boring. Likes drive posting behavior. Its random reinforcement- built right in.
People are hooked Nearly one in three Americans would rather give up sex for three months than give up their smartphone A global survey found that most people cant live without their phones, never leave home without them and, if given a choice, would rather lose their wallet or purse than their cellphone
Digital natives would rather text than call; Often a de鍖cit in face to face soft skills. (e.g., deskilling effect). Unmediated conversations may be uncomfortable: Many Millennials 鍖nd phone calls "distasteful and obtrusive. Desire for a digital interface Artist: Eric Pickersgill
Co-working spaces and adult dorms Infrastructure for digital nomads Services springing up for the Untethered Ephemerality / No commitments / Not buying house, car, no longer term career or relationship.
Key word in an Untethered Society: Disaggregation Now: With emergence of IoT, human-machine relationships become increasingly important
Whats next: Radical Disaggregation via the Blockchain Blockchain continues and ampli鍖es this trend of untethering into radical disaggregation from social structures - like banks, even Nation States. Expansion needed in terms of IoT and Connected Devices feeding data to dApps on the blockchain. Example: IoT + the Quanti鍖ed Self + Behavioral Drivers > incentivizing behavior through mining tokens on the blockchain Use Case: Connected gym equipment - which sends data about your performance to a blockchain app - users can earn everything from lower insurance rates - to tokens redeemable for 鍖tness wear/ shoes etc.
The bad news: As more of our lives becomes connected - data being used in unintended ways We need to rethink privacy, app permissions, and what is being done with that data
What we need - Nutrition Info data use labeling - Standardized, easy to read Data Use Facts
Lastly - Four stages of digital connectivity in our lives: Enablement - (by Internet connectivity) Dependency - (Deskilling, Displacement; Phone as appendage) - ex: cant read a map Some kids cant read an analog CLOCK Vulnerability - Hacking, Power outages, Malfunctions, Psychological vulnerabilities - ennui / whats my purpose; Lost My Phone; opening oneself up due to (unintended) data sharing. Fracturation - As opposed to mass media/ TV (McLuhan) - Living in a bubble world of narrow cast information; Allows polarization of beliefs, knowledge, experiences - and manipulation of those (see: recent Cambridge Analytica - hyper targeting + bots)
Which leads us to the final issue; the problem with radical disaggregation - the end of jobs problem/end of occupations though accelerating IoT/smart systems: In a world where increasingly- AI enabled agents agents are connected to an increasing array of devices that run our homes, cars, factories and other aspects of our lives What do we do?
People say weve been here before.. that theres always been transformation based upon new technologies in society. That this is nothing new. Heres the difference -
