The anti-EDIs social norm: A counterargument

July 10, 2014 By Anne Leave a Comment

Woman checking phone

They're more like DEDIs (digitally enabled displays of insensitivity) than EDIs (electronic displays of insensitivity), because the behavior is human not electronic. But that's beside the point. This NPR commentary suggests that EDIs are becoming a social norm. It cites an unscientific survey of 2,000 newsletter subscribers as finding that this insensitive behavior – people checking their phones … [Read more...] about The anti-EDIs social norm: A counterargument

The why of the Facebook research fracas & what it calls for

July 3, 2014 By Anne 2 Comments

Wondering about the "Facebook Emotional Manipulation Study" so much in the news these past few days? If so, you're not alone. What's causing this firestorm? Consumer research is nothing new, and we all know academic research certainly isn't. There are some aspects of this that are very different, however, and so cause a great deal of uneasiness if not outrage. What's different here are… The … [Read more...] about The why of the Facebook research fracas & what it calls for

Those can be … [Read more...] about Balancing external with internal Internet safety ‘tools’

Aggregated extortion, digital footprints’ dark side & second chances

October 8, 2013 By Anne 1 Comment

This is the chilling side of the digital footprint (something that everybody has) – chilling because the takeaway seems to be that nobody can make a mistake anymore. Web sites with names like BustedMugshots and JustMugshots claim they're doing society a favor by publishing photos that document arrests (not convictions) en masse. And when prospective employers or even people looking for a date or … [Read more...] about Aggregated extortion, digital footprints’ dark side & second chances
