Mobile Emergence
Hi my name is Samantha Blackmon and I'm a guest blogger.
Hi, Samantha!
Now that all of that is taken care of...I thought that this was interesting considering Johndan's recent question about whether or not he should shed the cell phone as part of his exercise in disconnection.
Eric Paulos, a research scientist at Intel’s Research Laboratory in Berkeley, California, launched the
Urban Atmospheres and Urban Probes projects not just to explore social uses of emerging technologies, but also to test new ways of pursuing socio-technological research. Call me a skeptic, but I can't help wondering if the research is simply being done to improve marketing. The Feature
article sounds more optimistic than I am. Who knows what good lurks in the hearts of Intel?
