Taustaa:

We without borders (Macht)
How we cope with challenges of social media at the office and at home in our families.

The soft power of objects: the future of the internet of things (Deschamps-Sonsino)
The "internet of things" has been developing slowly both as corporate meme and as product and business experiments. Most of these discourses exploit the idea in terms of connecting devices and objects to the web. I'll explore the power of these objects to exhibit and dictate behaviour in ways that digital devices don't and what this means moving ahead.

Authenticity and trust on the Internet (Heathcote)
How do individuals, companies and institutions manage to engender trust though social networks, when people find it hard to judge what's real - and why do we lose our sense of smell when judging information on the web? I'll look at examples, good and bad, as well as those whose authenticity is their brand and their product.
