This talk will not be webcast. Physical transformation is all around us, constant and ubiquitous. Yet design remains focused on the object as an essentially static thing. How can the designer understand transformation itself as a parameter that can be shaped, crafted, and optimized? |

Tom Steinberg is founder of MySociety.org, a project based in the UK which has built a slew of sites that help people report problems with and gain service from their local and national government. As their website says, "Using our services, 200,000 people have written to their MP for the first time, over 65,000 potholes and other broken things have been fixed, over 120,000 people get emailed about things that happen in Parliament, and at least 77 tiny hats have been knitted for charity." |

Participant(s)/Committee:
Alex (Sandy) Pentland Marshall Van Alstyne Information markets benefit the communities they serve by facilitating electronic distributed exchange of information. Further benefits include enhancing knowledge sharing, innovation, and productivity. This research explores innovative market mechanisms to build long-term sustainable incentives that many existing platforms fail to provide, while encouraging pro-social behavior. A key advantage of this research is direct application of information economic and macroeconomic theory to design of social software. |
