2. You are not the same teacher you
were ten years ago.
You are not the same person.
We are all developing, the question is
how.
Duncan Foord, The Developing Teacher.
5. How has the web developed over the past ten
years?
• The first phase was documents linked together.
• The second phase we start seeing opportunities for interaction
with others. Social behaviour was being bolted on to websites.
• We are now entering the third phase, where websites are being
rebuilt around people. Social behaviour is the key feature. It is
not bolted on.
Paul Adams, GROUPED

18. Status updates often contain social
gestures and people often respond by
liking or commenting on the
content, not because they actually
like the content but because they
want to send out a social signal to
build the relationship. In many
cases, the conversation that follows a
status update is much more important
than the status update itself.

20. What do we share online?
Content that evokes
high arousal, whether
positive (awe) or
negative (anger or
anxiety), is more viral.
In turn, content that
evokes low-arousal, or
is
deactivating, emotions
like sadness is less
viral.

“We're lonely, but we're
afraid of intimacy. And so
from social networks to
sociable robots, we're
designing technologies
that will give us the
illusion of companionship
without the demands of
friendship."
