The new social rules
Description
Next Event - New Social Rules for Living in a Digital Age / 24th November
“The Social Network” aka the Facebook movie is certainly generating debate about how badly girl geeks are treated, whether all nerds are robots and why the traditional media wants to portray social in a really bad light.
However, what the film is *not* addressing is the new social rules. If Twitter is about getting the best quip of the day or providing some useful info, Linkedin is about proving "my network is bigger than yours", and Facebook is about sharing that "I have a more interesting life than you"; then there must be some new rules for these new games, but what are they?
This
mashup* event will present views from those who are bringing about
change, focused on the debate centred around the social norms of
etiquette, safety and privacy with technology moving forward have the
old rules around these areas moved on and developed or have we got new
social rules that lead our lives,
With the transition from old
rules to new rules and then to the new new rules, around location and
revealing who and where we are. So what are these new new rules, and
what is the impact on our lives that they have not only now, but moving
forward.
Imagine the implications on your personal life if you
were checked into a location you hadn't visited, and how that could
resonate into your professional life these are the areas we imagine
will be discussed and more, to explore the impact of the New Social
Rules
The next mashup* event is on the 24th November and we aim to debate, build on and clarify the new rules.
