3. GROWING UP WITH A CULTURE OF
INFORMATION: INTRODUCING JANE
‘I’m 20. My mum is 40. My dad is…over 40.
Would you learn about the web from
your parents? - Who didn’t even grow up with
the internet!’
‘We were born on the web. We are the early
adopter crowd’
‘We want to know whatever’s going on.’
5. JANE’S FUSIONS OF SOCIAL EXPRESSION
Facebook: ‘knows who I know and what we talk
about’
Google: ‘to search for all the things I’ve thought
about and look for’
Google Maps: ‘where I’ve been; where I’m going;
where my friends are’
Twitter: ‘what I’m doing; why I’m doing it’
‘I combine my Facebook with Google, so you have
enough to write a small autobiography about me,
complete with pictures and friends.’
7. A SERIOUSLY SOCIAL SENSIBILITY
The emergence of distinctive characteristics
‘What I’m thinking’
‘What I just did’
‘Where I am’
What I am going to do’
‘Why I am doing it’
A social etiquette
Makes communication possible
Always WITH others
Awareness of social action(s)
8.
9. THE CREATION OF SOCIAL PRESENCE
‘To be always there…’
Co-participatory
Interconnections – emphasis on networks
Reciprocal relationship with known others
Constant (re)cycle and social exchange of
action(s)
Channeled by the conditions of ubiquity,
unbounded connectivity and the anticipation of
the arrival of social information
10. BEING ALWAYS WITH EVERYONE
Previous private behaviour; now always
potentially public
Moderate behaviour; ‘out of control’
Seen to be a part of the social scene
Enhanced sense of self-surveillance

12. CONSTANTLY CONNECTED CONSEQUENCES
Are we becoming more
like Jane?
Our data is captured
We belong to archives of
information
It is considered ‘everyday’
to observe others and to
observe ourselves…
We seek to create our
own networks of
mutuality – and PULL in
other generations e.g.
parents/extended family.
