SXSW - Amy Webb

article image placeholderUploaded by @AverageJoe
We already have a problem as humans, where so many of us simply ignore things that we don't want to focus on. But now imagine not even having to acknowledge that they exist because they never come into your field of view. What kind of problems do you think that creates another catastrophic prospect? Was nanotechnology inside your body? Let's say you start developing a drinking habit

SXSW, Amy Webb, ‘The You Of Things’

Privacy vs benefit

And I think the older you go, you get like a Mort Seinfeld. You got my name, you got my address. That's enough. You don't need anything else. And I think the younger you go, I think it's an open book. I think the younger generations are just willing to give up anything. I'm an open book. Here you go. Have at it, do whatever you want, and I'll take the benefits from that

So I decided to start watching Things session based on your post. And then also I actually had read Amy Webb's book Data, A Love story, so pretty interested in her work overall. But but I just got to other part where it's talking about these wrist watches that tracks the movements of Amazon workers. And I'm horrified and a little afraid to keep watching. And I still have about an hour left. So let's see where this goes

So I assume it's on demand now, and I do want to go back and catch it all because I did miss a little clip of things, but a lot of it freaked me out. It's a really weird thought. Like when you think about so much of our lives will be just out there, they'll just be able to be harvested our data. She calls it the you of things, and that's going to be us. It's going to happen. That's the thing

Diminished Reality’s healthy potential #DR #AR #XR

And so the notion that there's a whole new way of looking at or offering experiences where we are focusing diminishing the onslaught of reality all around us. That sounds appealing to me. And I think it's going to open up a whole new market of just stress relief, like a walking sensory deprivation tank that strips away necessary input, anything that we set it to detect as unnecessary input, and leaves only the essential or what we desire to be the essential that feels like it could be healthy
