ABSTRACT:

The talk will cover what has changed and what has not changed in the world of attention, belonging, people and data:

  • Who we are (mobile technologies, identity and privacy),
  • How we interact (social technologies),
  • How we decide (behavioral economics), and
  • Why we share (incentive design, future of work).
