Walkmen changed our social norms 07/18/2004 08:45 AM
This article on the 25th anniversary of the Walkman explores some of the fascinating social fallout from the rise of personal stereos.

"The Walkman was critical in altering the rules of being with other people," Schiffer says. "People thought it was rude to listen to music in public. Now our standards have eroded to the route we've gone down with cell phones, which is to sanction rudeness. We are losing sociability."

Kevin Werbach points out that social networking sites like LinkedIn and Tribe and so forth have very little to offer highly connected people like Esther Dyson, who would nevertheless be a real asset to the network:

Esther and Pierre don't need LinkedIn to reach pretty much anyone they want to contact. Yet there are a whole lot of folks who want to reach them, and don't have a personal connection to do so. So the service worsens their email overload with little corresponding benefit.

Social Applications For Social Devices

Social Applications For Social Devices 07/13/2004 01:53 AM
The mobile phone, by its very nature is a "social" device. It's designed to help connect you to someone else. While most of the early efforts to create "mobile data" have come from a broadcast mindset (delivery produced content to an audience), it looks like some are finally realizing that mobile data apps need to be social to really catch on. If they're not making use of the mobile phone for what it's good for, then it's unlikely to get too much attention. MIT's Tech Review has a good overview of a variety of different "social" projects related to mobile devices, from the ever popular "Dodgeball" mobile social networking application to Fluidtime's dorm room washing machine SMS scheduler (and negotiator, should you find out you need the machine now and someone else has it booked). These are the types of applications that really are the future of mobile phones -- and not the ability to watch the latest reality TV series on your phone or to receive a marketing message from Disney.

Changing The Inbox

Changing The Inbox 06/03/2004 10:47 AM
Email is widely considered the "killer app" of the internet, but some are wondering if it's getting a bit worn around the edges. While stories about how spam is killing email can be found almost anywhere, some are suggesting that email has many other problems as well. Now, it appears that just about everyone is trying to "reinvent" email - but you have to wonder just how far it should go. While improving the interface can be good, it's always difficult to make major changes to something that people feel so comfortable with. Email does have its limitations, but so many people have already adapted to them, that forcing them to change again (unless it's done very well) may create more problems than it solves.

The Whole Concept Of Television Is
Changing... Or Is It?

The Whole Concept Of Television Is
Changing... Or Is It? 11/13/2003 12:29 PM
Television hasn't really changed all that much over the past few decades, but a lot of things are happening in the space these days. People are increasingly interested in having a central digita l hub in their homes that will store and manage both television programs, and their own created content. The article points to a study done by the Internet Home Alliance (who isn't often shy about painting the picture they'd like to see for the future - which involves many of their member companies having lots of new products to sell). I don't think it's surprising that they found many people who claim they want a central digital video hub, but the actual implementation might not be so easy. Ignoring the whole broad cast flag issue, and how that might complicate this vision, such a device would need to work exceptionally well for it to gain traction. It's a pretty complex system, but would need to be easy to set up and easy to use, while still offering the functionality that people want. It's certainly possible, but it might take some time. At the same time, other studies are pointing out the fairly obvious fact that digital video recorders are going to change how television advertising works. Lots of people have been saying this for years, but the broadcast industry is finally coming to terms with it. Of course, they'll probably end up going the route of the recording and movie industries and make life more difficult for people, instead of embracing the new technology. Meanwhile, the NY Times is reporting that Sprint PCS is going to let people watch streaming TV on their mobile phones. At 2 frames per second. Two... Frames... Per... Second... That's not television. That's a bunch of still images, on a one inch screen - and knowing most streaming technology, they will probably be pretty blocky still images. Did I mention that it will also cost $10/month? Seems like a limited upside on that one. I'll probably have my home digital hub up and running before I'm watching TV on my mobile phone.

The Changing Nature Of Radio

The Changing Nature Of Radio 04/18/2005 04:16 AM
It's no secret that what we once thought of as "radio" is changing drastically. Already, there are things like satellite radio and digital radio -- and there are those who consider file sharing, podcasts and music players like iPod as "the next generation of radio." Two more examples are about to hit the market, suggesting that this next generation for radio is also getting fairly crowded. First will be Motorola's new iRadio service, which we saw launched at DEMO in February (for the first time -- apparently this second launch is... um... just 'cause). The idea is to have the mobile phone be the core of the audio experience. You can download audio files directly to the phone, and then either listen to them directly off the phone, or use Bluetooth to stream the songs through your car stereo or home stereo. It's a neat idea, but it'll be a few years before it gets anywhere near realistic/useful. How many people actually have Bluetooth enabled car stereos or home stereos? Yes, Motorola will offer an adapter, but you also need to buy their special phone, which doesn't really seem to hold that much data -- so it all seems a bit limited. Then, you've got the launch of visual radio, which is basically just trying to update existing FM radio with things like song information and album art. It seems like a fairly weak attempt at updating radio in the face of a lot of competition, but it's hard to see it having much of an impact, considering the competition should be able to keep doing much, much more.

But, an interesting point out there suggests that this has already been implemented by Apple: the sl eep-light on the latest iBook and eMac.
