I love that video exists. Cell phones and their cameras are a huge net positive for our society. That probably radically changes once deep-fake gets a little better, but so far so good.
 
I watched this one unfold on Twitter last night. Psycho woman is going to lose a good job with Franklin Templeton it would appear. Local Cocker Spaniel adoption agency has retaken possession of the dog. Dude is apparently an avid bird watcher and dogs aren't allowed off leash in The Ramble which is a bird sanctuary and why he was so concerned about the dog being off leash. Also, for some reason, he carries dog treats, and had attempted to call the woman's dog over because she wouldn't put it on a leash.

This clip is a good example of making everyday racism visible, sure. But cell phones and camera technology can also used to frame, surveil, and police marginalized bodies and communities too. Probably a good practice to keep negative affordances of this tech in mind.

And my wife can call me 100% of the time and tell me what she wants me to pick up at Harris Teeter.
 
Yeah, but who would you be today without that kind of technologically-mediated connection.
 
no "100% contact" in this alternate timeline !
 
I'd be okay just walking and driving around talking to people and using the phone at the office and dialing a 800 number to get my voicemails, but I'd be ashamed if everyone else had a smartphone and I didn't since I wouldn't be able to adjust plans on the fly and I'd show up at the wrong restaurant. Also, quarrantine would probably get old after a couple of months.
 
hi welcome to a possible discussion thread we'll share in my interpersonal communication class that i'll be teaching in the fall sign up now to unlock 100 KoryTokens that can be used to unlock interpersonal communication DLC
 
Obviously there is a ton of utility to a smartphone. I actually want the gov't to know where I am.

We've taken a laissez fair attitude with the moderating lately anyway. We know the market will decide whether people wanto to continue to post with RJKarl and Dutch Deacon 65. Apparently, they do.
 
The Human Kapital on The Pit is what makes this forum a microcosm of the greater Market.
 
in the marketplace of ideas, good ideas are king
