  2. Mobile Devices and Presence Evolution of cellphones

  3. Stats

  4. Environment  gowirelessgogreen Rate of upgrade Hazardous materials Recycling Rates

  5. By Age

  6. Changing Usage • Mobile access to social networking • Gaming goes mobile • consoles $21.4B in ‘08 to $18.7B in ’10 • Zynga value $9.3B (more than EA)

  7. Connectivity • Always able to be reached • Higher expectations of availability? • Multi-tasking = not always actively listening • Distractions • Not just texting • 18% of fatalities due to cell phone use • Four times as likely to get in crash using cell • Why is it different than talking to a passenger? • distraction.gov

  8. Addiction

  9. What is Addiction? • Physiological: Chronic relapsing condition characterized by compulsive abuse and by long-lasting chemical changes in the brain. • Behavioral: Any act that when abused becomes detrimental to other areas of life • Same irrespective of the drug

  10. Physiological Evidence No research indicating a chemical change in the brain from an addiction to technology Recently: physiological changes

  11. Behavioral Components -Dr. Patrick Carnes • Absorption • Mood Modification (Greenfield study: 29%) • Tolerance • Withdrawal • Relapse

  12. Constant Emailing 2007 survey When Technology Addiction Takes Over Your Life 59% in bed 53% in the bathroom 37% while driving 12% in church 47% more likely to check email in middle of night than get a late night snack

  13. Alternative Payment Options • Wireless credit card scanning • Pay for anything, anywhere, anytime  • squareup • Find and pay for public parking in major cities • Miami, New York City • bestparking • Purchase tickets •  Digital coupons • Haiti using cell phones as debit cards • Starbucks • Electronic boarding passes • But is the rest of the world still ahead of us? Why?

  14. Key Technologies • NFC (Near Field Communication) • Wave, not line of sight • Text payment • Digital wallet

  15. Business • Use by business to track employees • Truck Drivers, Delivery, Taxis • Can track location • Invasion of privacy? • Safety? • Business control? • Mobile Devices as Marketing Tools • No longer need a street address • Food Trucks • But what about coupons based on location?

  16. Imagine … Do you like it? Based on your calendar and the location of your cell phone Software recognizes that you are late for a meeting and texts a message to all of the people who are scheduled to attend

  17. How is location determined? • Networking • Cell phones • Wi-fi • Bluetooth • Physical device • GPS • Cards • User-provided • Calendar • Messages • Combining How does increased commercial use impact?

  18. Questions What do you want to make available? Who do you want to make it available to? How do you turn it on and off? How to indicate who to share with? Sharing with applications?

  19. Inadvertent Sharing • Geo-tagging • Cell phones • Cameras • Twitter • icanstalku

  20. Mobile in Politics • Activism vsslacktivism • Does technology increase activism? • Does it help? • Is it a mirage? • In the US: • SMS remains the key technology • But needs to take the user to “live” sites • Who is the target? How important? • Over 80% of smartphone/tablet users are registered voters • Will YOU give them your phone #?

  21. Nanotechnology and Embedded Devices What is the difference when you don’t know that it is there?

  22. Nanotechnology • Creating and using structures on the atomic scale • Uses: • Medical • Environmental • Material • Trends: • Greater flexibility and precision at lower costs

  23. History • Feynman: predicted nanotechnology in 1959 • Drexler: in 1986 posed the threat of runaway self-replicating nanobots • Later disclaimed • Eigler: manipulated individual atoms in 1989

  24. Feynman: Bottom-up approach • Top-down: • Start with something big • Chisel away at it • Make it smaller and smaller • Bottom-up: • Start with smaller entities • Assemble them into larger objects

  25. Drexler: Molecular Manufacturing • Factory of mini-atomic machines: nanobots • Could produce anything • Assemblers • Self-replicating • Good: • Availability • Adaptability • Bad (Grey Goo): • Loosed into the environment • Mistakes

  26. Eigler: Making it Happen Used electron microscope Moved Xenon atoms

  27. Nanoproperties • More reactive Smaller particle size, greater proportion surface atoms • 30 nm - 5% • 10 nm - 20% • 3 nm - 50% • Impact of Brownian motion • Viscosity increase • Inertia decrease

  28. Nanomaterials • Structural components with at least one dimension less than 100nm • Layers - one dimension in the nanoscale • Nanowires and nanotubes in two dimensions • Nanoparticles in all three

  29. Nanolayer Uses • Optical devices (40 years!) • Computer chips • Cutting tools (nanocrystalline) • tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, … • more erosion-resistant • last longer • Self-cleaning glass (2001) • Coating of titanium dioxide • Uses water to clean • With sun, clears grime

  30. Nanotubes • First observed 1991 • Nanometres in diameter and several mm or cm long • Mechanically very strong (diamond) • Usage: • Nanoelectronics • spaceships (weight and structural integrity)

  31. Nanowires • Formed by self-assembly • Usages: • Semiconductor nanowires • High-density data storage

  32. Nanoparticles • Cosmetics, coatings, additives • Sunscreens • Pigment in cosmetics • Solar cells • Biological tracers • Medical • Antimicrobial agent to treat wounds, infections • Burn dressing

  33. Future Applications • Nanomachines and Nanorobotics • Molecular Manufacturing • Nanomedicine • Environmental/ Energy • Nanoelectronics

  34. Nanomachines/ Nanorobotics • Molecular scale gears, motors, structures, etc • Sophisticated biological machines exist (protein folding) • Circuits since 2006 • Largest: • 74 different DNA molecules • Square root of any number up to 15 and round • 10 hours

  35. Future medicine • Intelligent nanobots • diagnostic devices, • contrast agents • drug delivery vehicles • Intelligent nanosurgeons • Reconstruct molecular structure of cancer cells • Operate without leaving scars/ complex operations • Cosmetic surgery/ change any physical feature • Alter DNA

  36. Environmental/ Energy • Use intelligent nanobots to: • Rebuild ozone layer • Clean up oil spills/ other disasters • Clean water  • Bottom-up method of manufacturing would result in less pollution • Create non-renewable resources (oil, coal)

  37. Social and Ethical Issues • Privacy and Control • Nanodivide? • Human enhancement; longevity • Military/Weaponry issues

  38. Military/Weaponry Issues • MIT ISN • In 2010, 23% of US government nano investment spent by DoD • Potential for new biological and chemical weapons. • An arms race? • Military development in the civil sector • Is there a problem when nano is used for military ends?
