Jane's table

Opportunities

Increasing social interaction and opportunities

Gives people a voice - 'hierachy of discourse' is disrupted

Provides tools for what people want to do - talk to each other and share things

connect/share/communicate/inspire - and disrupt in a positive sense

Technology can provide a focus for joining different groups together


Barriers

Schools banning mobile phones - why? Seen as threat to classroom control

Maybe when a technology becomes ubiquitous, it is seen as 'bad' (like TV). 

Social control of technology - constrains how it's used.

There are dangers of the cloud - who decides, what information is collected by you.

Distinction between using and owning the space.
