  1. Avoiding installing hell 2.0 in a Paradise built in hell 1.0. Jon Crowcroft http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~jac22 Jon.crowcroft@cl.cam.ac.uk

  2. Disasters happen • Read this book: A Paradise Built in Hell, R.Solnit: • http://www.amazon.co.uk/Paradise-Built-Hell-Extraordinary-Communities/dp/0143118072/ • Lots of nice examples, but subtitle matters: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster • Before first responders get there (>72hrs) self-organise! • Then the emergency “services arrive, and mess things up badly • Can we help?

  3. Yes we can • Lots of useful tech • Twimight, firechat, haggle, thingbox etc • Not only improve community creation/organisation • Create situational awareness • E.g. maps of dry land, clean water, food/drink etc • Do pub/sub/cloud (distr) • Then have first reponders start with a clue • Note – this has been done manually • (see Haiti Earthquake/google maps/twitter of safe buildings/ triage data on who to rescue etc) • So what are the challenges?

  4. Challenges • transition from small group to large where social ties stretch… • …and break • (when society invented money and policemen) • So can we mitigate this? • Digitial societies are being tried • Old2new – usenet, wiki, liquid, occupy

  5. How to build/experiment • New social media tools • Self-forming social groups • Evidence based collective decision making • You name it…

  6. Two other topics came up • Principle of Least Astonishment • Not Neutrality • Reading • Smart Data Pricing (Here…see later) • You’re Capped (Chetty et cal, CHI ‘12) • What’s the problem? • Most traffic isn’t “caused” by user (directly) • “Mysterious” Processes • Adverts (Times of India 2 orders magnitude more than page) • Anxiety/inability to make rational/informed choice • Not rational, anyway! • How to fix?

  7. Social Value of Non Neutral • Discuss…. back in the 80s, we had telnet, ftp, smtp and a few other clunky things. At the turn of the decade, we • then had wais, gopher archie and a host of clunky things; at the turn of the next decade we had mosaic, • ie, safari, and a host of cgi clunki things. shortly after that we had altavista, yahoo search, inktomi, • and a host of clunky search things. each of these was terminated by the next wave. fb seems like the • terminator for myspace, orkut, weibo, and a bunch of other clunky things. Hence my • prediction.....similar to when fb look at your "wave" of comments on a parntner's timeline, and see it • crest, and then predict you are about to leave (and presumably can look at updates on some other • gender-preferred timeline and even say who you are switching too:)
