> Designing Connections
>
> We email, chat, sms, exchange messages on bulletin boards, and instant
> message with each other. All these forms of online communication
> provide different ways of interacting with each other, and many have
> settled into well established genres. What improvements and variations
> might come to these genres? What new formats might be created? No
> doubt they will come about through experimentation, some will fail and
> others will mutate into successful tools for decision making or
> brainstorming, or giving insight into otherwise unnoticed group
> dynamics. Today's interaction designer has opportunities to shape
> interactions between people. They can choose to create, hide, reveal,
> and otherwise shape connections between people online. It is not
> always clear what is most appropriate for a certain group. Josh On,
> of Futurefarmers, will show some of his experimental interaction
> designs created both at Futurefarmers and at the Royal College of Art
> in London. He will also try and open a discussion about the types of
> interaction that may be possible online in the future.
>
> Josh On went to Canterbury University to study sociology. He then
> went on to live and work in Japan and England, where he did his
> masters in Computer Related Design at the Royal College of Art. Today
> he lives in San Francisco, and works for a small web company called
> Futurefarmers. Their website can be found at www.futurefarmers.com.
