#now ashamed i used the work “user” in a slide
#David A. Kirby “The future is now” anyone have the reference, @julian?
#the biggest and most rez-ed in culturally “future” idea-mass wins! more than one of course
#it might just be semantics, but the term “user” needs a stake driven through its cold black heart

#”“Resistance is Futile: Reading Science Fiction Alongside Ubiquitous computing
#contextual relevance, more “individuals” for whom the information/object is relevant, the greater the “gravitational force”?

#the past is comfortable. it is known and safely stored in our memory. if that memory is shared, even more so.

#nostalgia from the present
#@tmo i look at my screen more than any other thing… having WCD in my view at all times gives me a 6th sense of “when everyone is”
#@boris I thought you meant a real clock
#our time perception is based on information storage, and extrapolation thereof…
#twitter = nostalgia for the present?

#or Gen Y is another name for millennial? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Y
#thanks nicolas, it seems like there are a lot of candidates for the millennials persona – I like Gen Y, matt likes Gen C, etc.
#@matt, did you get a cable?
