The manufactured self and core self are not mutually exclusive; one actually cannot live without the other, but one is visceral and innate and the other highly monitored and selective. It’s sort of like Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. One is in control; the outwardly respected and accepted doctor while the other is all raw emotions (negative ones mind you but still). That’s the same with us and how we share online or how we don’t share.
Lexie Kier and I were chatting over coffee this past weekend when the topic of google and privacy came up. Foursquare’s Radar feature came into the mix and we wondered if people would ever be ok with full disclosure. We both instantly said no.
We are not comfortable with that idea yet; we still need to monitor our manufactured, outward selves and protect our core. So then what about all those social apps? Millions use them so we must be ok with it. Well, not exactly. There’s a spectrum. So lexie and I mapped it out. What apps cater to the manufactured self and which to the core?
This is where we ended up.
I think this would be really cool research to see how each uses different social apps. Some who have Twitter set to private are probably way to the left while others on Twitter are completely to the right. I like where this is headed though.
I wish government and proponents of bills like SOPA, PIPA & ACTA realized those of us opposed to them aren’t pro-pirating or pro-counterfeiting, we’re just opposed to any governing body having the ability to wield the power to shut any company, organization or individual down without due process and without transparency. Is that really so hard to understand?
This is a great video and a must watch. We can learn how to multitask and social media tools can increases our ability to learn - despite what everyone says.
Teenagers watch TV online. No big shocker right? According to a Horrowitz Associates recent study, almost all teens watch TV online at least once a month. Half watch TV on their phones monthly. This study purposely excludes online only content.
Their parents and older siblings are much further behind. Almost half watch some news and sports (probably clips) online but very few watch any TV content on their phones.
The press release doesn’t share too much additional research and the report cost $8,500 but this is obviously a growing trend that’s only going to get even much, much bigger.
It will certainly be interesting to see how marketing budgets react accordingly…

Sadly I think it will be a while before Marketing budgets catch up.

Amazing – I suspected the online trend, but did not even consider cell phones. Although I am not a big TV watcher and obviously not a teenager – I started watching shows online on my MacBook Pro about a year ago and since then I have not turned on a TV since. I wonder how long before TV as we know it is obsolete?

I quit watching TV on my TV years ago. If it's not on Hulu, Netfix or Boxee I don't watch it.

I'm a big fan of Hulu and love the convenience of Netflix. I haven't heard of Boxee, I'll have to check it out.

Phones never were just to call. They were from the beginning an opportunity for discovering new ways of developing. Social media is the natural next step.
I find this fact true because each and every teen I know (including my teen) often watch videos online, streaming shows even. This might be a good news to some but honestly, parents like me often feel worried on things they might just watch online. Especially now that accessing the internet can pretty much be done using portable gadgets like cellphones. I sometimes think there are downsides to upgraded technologies all around us. The only measures I can take as a parent is to make sure I to remind my children of their limits on their usage of the internet as well as see to it I know their internet activities at home.
