  4. Kidz and their Data • Gaming • Virtual reality is not all graphics • Distributed gaming: data-intensive, high concurrency • Spatio-temporal modeling • Probabilistic/speculative state migration • Communication • A gadget or 2 per kid (but not dozens) • Picture at right is misleading • Multimodal/Multiparty interaction • IM, email, phone, filesharing, gaming… • Cliques/clubs/gangs/etc. • I.e. multicast, push, collaboration, etc.

  5. Why are we Dropping the Ball? • It’s fun. It’s high-profile.
