SUMMARY:Kids Today Have No Sense of Privacy? - Andrew A. Adams (School of 
 Systems Engineering\, University of Reading)
DTSTART:20090218T113000Z

UID:TALK16604@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Fabien Petitcolas
DESCRIPTION:Some in the business of gathering\, processing (and often sell
 ing) data about people claim that concerns about "privacy" are so 20th Cen
 tury. They refer to the habits of "kids today" of documenting every aspect
  of their lives online\, twittering about their boredom in a lecture\, arr
 anging to meet with friends on MySpace\, blogging about their first snog (
 or first other experiences) quite graphically on FaceBook. They claim that
  the new generation is over the old privacy problem and quite happy about 
 living their lives in full glare of the rest of the Google-savvy generatio
 n.\n\nIs this really their attitude? If so\, is it a true generational shi
 ft in considerations of privacy\, or is it about youth having little to lo
 se (or so they think). Is this just the attitude of some in some countries
 \, and how does usage and attitudes differ across countries.\n\nAndrew Ada
 ms and Pat Parslow (Systems Engineering\, University of Reading)\, Dan Tro
 ttier (Sociology\, Queen's University\, Ontario)\, Kiyoshi Murata (School 
 of Commerce\, Meiji University\, Tokyo) and Yohko Orito (Faculty of Letter
 s\, Ehime University\, Matusyama) have been interviewing students about th
 eir use of SNS\, and their attitudes to it.\n\nIn this talk\, Andrew Adams
  will present some of the early findings of this joint research project\, 
 and explore some of the ideas it generates\, such as "What do you call tho
 se people you only know on SNS\, and how does it change how you relate to 
 them?"
