Supernova 2008 Day 2 - Panel: "People: What We Know and What It Means"

Originally published on ConversationHub

Speakers: BJ Fogg (moderator), Charlene Li, Eszter Hargitti and Elizabeth Churchill


BJ Fogg from the Persuasive Computing lab - how do you motivate and persuade people.

Studying people: can study what is in people's brain, also look at how people perceive others, diads (how people interact), small and large groups, clusters of groups and cultures/world.

Elizabeth Churhill - Yahoo Research - ethno-centric fieldwork

Presentation: People - what we know and what it means....to us and to them

People are endlessly creative - few tools are good at complex knowledge sharing

Very few tools are good at helping teach people (instructables) - teaching how th groups share knowledge to each other - video, text, cell phones, etc - to share procedural motor skills. [Take a look at Make from Bre Prentis]
