			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8221;m delighted that the slide deck from our webinar made it into a blog post by <a href="http://www.elsua.net">Luis Suarez</a> called <a href="http://www.elsua.net/2013/05/09/meet-your-new-ceo-your-kid/">Meet Your New CEO; Your Kid</a>.</p>
<p>Luis recounts some of his motivations for beginning to Live A Life Without Email over five years ago. The speculates about our futures at work, at home and in the world. Looking at our kids is a good way to learn the ways of an evolving world &#8212; even if one lesson is to start forgetting what you&#8217;ve always found useful and helpful.</p>
<p>Luis includes this video of kids evaluating their current social media (SnapChat, Tumblr, and Whisper.sh are not mentioned)</p>

      As folks getting my announcements on Facebook know, I was a speaker in <a href="http://www.ackland.org/Visit/AdultPrograms/TeaatTwo/index.htm">the Tea at Two series</a> at <a href="http://www.ackland.org/">UNC&#8217;s Ackland Art Museum</a> last Thursday. We were celebrating and adding a bit to the <a href="http://www.ackland.org/OnView/upcoming/CCM3_038801">More Love: Art, Politics, and Sharing since the 1990s</a> show at the museum.
</p>
<p><center><img src="http://www.ackland.org/ccm/groups/public/@ackland/documents/content/ccm3_039135.jpg" alt="More Love at Ackland" align=center /></center><br />
</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how the program was described:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;The Work of Art, Technology, and Love in the Age of Digital Reproduction&#8221; </strong></p>
<p>What do light-weight, long-lasting batteries, Match.com, 4chan, Kittehz, SnapChat, Skype, Open Source software, Wikileaks and texting have to do with love and art? They put very contemporary twists on Walter Benjamin&#8217;s &#8220;The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction&#8221; and on More Love&#8217;s subtitle: &#8220;Art, Politics, and Sharing since the 1990s.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>In the spirit of the description and in the spirit of the works in the show, I first began my talk weeks before by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/433834330024955/">creating a conversation on the Facebook event page for the talk</a>. First I collected as many versions of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tell_Him_(Bert_Berns_song)">Bert Berns&#8217; &#8220;Tell Him&#8221;</a> from YouTube.  There are easily 30 or more versions of this song done since the first recording by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEvSZjWGQFI ">Johnny Thunder in 1962</a> and the <a href="http://youtu.be/ah-tui1ubnU">more famous cover by the Exciters that same year</a>. I love the beginning, the lead in and the first line <em>&#8220;I know something about love.&#8221;</em> The song has been covered by the Mod singer <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh5lESlAW-A">Billie Davis in the UK</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nHBBBf6UUs">Kenny Loggins in the US</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKIZCAJgPTs ">Alma Cogan in several languages</a>, by the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ8C3vdLmXk">glam rock bands Hello</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq-rWObqOKI">Glitter Band</a>, as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzISdIACLhE">Northern Soul by Dean Parrish</a>, by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVVoFhdzOAk">the cast of Glee</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muYLMDw4ohA">incorporated into a musical &#8220;Return to the Forbidden Planet,&#8221;</a> and p<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpJLTbZDGRI ">arodied on Saturday Night Live</a>.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIPVS004KzU6ND8Ap6W7NB5HsZjDVoTXo">I made a YouTube list of 34 of these.</a></p>
<p><center><iframe width="280" height="158" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLIPVS004KzU6ND8Ap6W7NB5HsZjDVoTXo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Along the way, I managed to pick up the idea of inviting people to join the talk via Google+ HangOut. Part of this idea came from a conversation with Mark Katz who was expressing his regrets that he would be in Venice on the day of the talk. Mark said something like &#8220;I&#8217;ll be in the City of Love tho.&#8221; It struck me that there are several Cities of Love &#8212; San Francisco especially the Haight, Philadelphia, Paris and to some degree Boston (where couples of all genders may marry). I arranged a HangOut with <a href="http://www.bebowhite.com/">Bebo White who lives in the Haight</a>, Lorraine Richards who is <a href="http://www.ischool.drexel.edu/home/about/press/article/?articleid=1775">on the faculty of Drexel in Philadelphia</a>, <a href="http://www.pulitzer.com/courtney.html">Courtney Pulitzer</a> who lives in Paris, and <a href="http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Edwin_Huff/">Edwin Huff</a> in Boston. </p>
<p>One of the interesting side effects of this Hangout is that while I know Ed, Courtney, Lori and Bebo none of them knew any of the others. Each was from some different time of my own life. Still we all played together well.</p>
<p>Part of the idea for the Hangout was to bring Citizens of Cities of Love into the museum by using common consumer technology, but another part was to mirror and draw attention to <a href="http://universes-in-universe.org/eng/nafas/articles/2003/emily_jacir">Emily Jacir&#8217;s piece &#8220;Where We Come From.&#8221;</a> Jacir solicites and performs small acts of remembrance and love in Israel on behalf of Palestinians who are forbidden to return to the places of their birth. Our aim was not so charged. Each Citizen offered to perform some small task for some one attending the talk. But as love should be bidirectional, the person requesting was asked by the Citizen to perform some small act on behalf of the Citizen. </p>
<p><center><img src="http://www.ackland.org/ccm/groups/public/@ackland/documents/content/ccm3_038811.jpg" alt="Janine Antoni, American, born 1964: Mortar and Pestle, 1999; chromogenic print. 48 x 48 inches. Edition of 10." /></center></p>
<p>Bebo will be documenting a visit to Spike, a coffee house in the Castro where <a href="https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/mcmanlypants">Michael William</a>s&#8217; friend Austin Miller is a barrista. Michael in turn will be recreating a human pyramid that Bebo and his friends created at UNC during the 1967 Human Be-in. Bebo also took us on a stroll thru the Haight using his phone camera including an interview with a modern flower girl. </p>
<p>Edwin showed us the spring snow outside his window. He was asked by Iris Tillman Hill to run out and toss a snowball. Ed grabbed his phone and took us out while he did just that. Iris was only asked to enjoy the warm sunshine on Ed&#8217;s behalf. </p>
<p>Lori, who introduced herself by describing <a href="http://www.ushistory.org/lovepark/index.htm">the complex relationship between Philly and sk8erz in the Love Park</a> (a great story worth reading),  was asked to visit the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FDR_Skatepark">successful skateboard park under the Interstate in FDR Park</a> by Jeff Shear. Jeff will visit <a href="http://www.carrburritos.com/carrboro/index.html">Carrburritos </a> for Lori.</p>
<p>French PhD student, Rox Ane, asked Courtney to attend a <a href="http://www.psg.fr/fr/Association/4010001/Effectifs-et-resultats-feminines">Paris Saint-Germain soccer/football game</a>. <a href="http://equalizersoccer.com/2013/01/22/tobin-heath-signs-six-month-deal-with-psg/">UNC stand out Tobin Heath is signed to PSG for 6 months.</a> Ideally, Courtney will get <a href="http://www.psg.fr/fr/Feminines/4010004/Fiche-Joueuse/3121/Heath-Tobin">a photo of Tobin Heath in PSG uniform</a>. Rox Ane will feast on a plate of <a href="http://www.roadfood.com/Restaurant/Reviews/216/allen-son">Allen and Son BBQ</a> as Courtney&#8217;s proxy.</p>
<p>Reflecting <a href="http://vimeo.com/38244867">Frances Stark&#8217;s &#8220;My Best Thing&#8221; </a> which uses Xtranormal characters to enact a sexually charged internet chat, I took to Xtranormal to present instead four quotes/discussions on technological determinism by <a href="http://www.marxists.org/glossary/people/l/a.htm#lafargue-paul">Paul LaFargue</a>, <a href="http://www.marshallmcluhan.com/">Marshall McLuhan</a>, me and <a href="https://plus.google.com/+LarryPage/about">Larry Page</a>. I took <a href="http://dudeism.com/">the Dude</a> as my proxy and our guide. </p>
<p><center><iframe width="280" height="158" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ymUPKMJkfiw?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Additionally, I did a <a href="http://prezi.com/jhbij7corixb/walter-benjamin-1936-1892-1940/">short presentation on Walter Benjamin using Prezi</a> which included a video explaining part of his <a href="http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/ge/benjamin.htm ">&#8220;Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction&#8221;</a> (1936) made by Warren Hedges. Also included in the presentation is <a href="http://www.tagxedo.com/app.html?url=http%3A//www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/ge/benjamin.htm&#038;shape=Classic&#038;orientation=Any">a heart shaped word cloud I created in Tagxedo.</a></p>
<p><center><iframe src="http://prezi.com/embed/jhbij7corixb/?bgcolor=ffffff&amp;lock_to_path=0&amp;autoplay=no&amp;autohide_ctrls=0&amp;features=undefined&amp;disabled_features=undefined" width="275" height="400" frameBorder="0"></iframe></center></p>
<p>As much as time allowed, I spoke about the timeline for <a href="http://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/110016/Technologies-of-Hooking-up/#vars!date=1995-11-21_08:18:59">the Technologies for Hooking Up from Minitel to SnapChat</a> that I created with <a href="http://www.tiki-toki.com/">Tiki-toki</a>.</p>
<p>Thanks to the Ackland and especially to Amanda Hughes and Allison Portnow for making this possible. Amanda helped document expressions of love by the Citizens who in return are at this moment receiving prisms as tokens of love from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yokoonopage">Yoko Ono</a> as part of her &#8220;Time to Tell Your Love&#8221; piece.</p>
<p>During questions someone asked more about Benjamin&#8217;s ideas. I referred them to John Berger&#8217;s 1972 BBC series &#8220;Ways of Seeing&#8221; Particularly the first episode. Here it is:<br />

<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/51354092">John Berger / Ways of Seeing , Episode 1 (1972)</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user3617290">shihlun</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://qz.com/author/glichfieldqz/">Gideon Lichfield</a>  writing in <a href="http://qz.com/">Quartz</a> notes: <strong>You are wasting your time on email.</strong> Now more than ever. Quit! <a href="http://qz.com/40267/we-are-losing-the-war-against-email/">Average email reply time in 2012 went up to 2.5 Days from 2.2 days in 2011.</a> (<a href="https://www.cueup.com/review">according to Cue.com</a> which also notes that dogs are mentioned more often than cats in corporate email. 38% vs 32%).</p>
<div class="wp-caption left" style="width: 485px"><a href="http://qz.com/40267/we-are-losing-the-war-against-email/"><img alt="Wasted time waiting for email replies" src="http://qzprod.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/screen-shot-2013-01-02-at-8-33-57-pm1.png?w=475&#038;h=192" title="Wasted time waiting for email replies" width="475" height="192" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Wasted time waiting for email replies</p></div>
<p>
The forward thinking Lichfield also observes:</p>
<blockquote><p>On current trends, then, if email response times keep increasing by 10% a year, and assuming that an average postal delivery time in your country is two days, <strong>I estimate that by approximately 2020 it will be faster to get an answer from someone by writing a letter than by sending an email.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p> (his bold statement)</p>
<p>Be ahead of the pack; begin with #noemail today (really you should give some announcement beforehand. <a href="http://ibiblio.org/pjones/blog/getting-started-with-noemail/">See suggestions throughout this blog for how to quit with grace</a>).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/NoEmailDay"><img src="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/420192_382610818424494_7142129_n.jpg" alt="No Email Day" /></a><br />
Tomorrow 12/12/12 is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NoEmailDay">No Mail Day</a>. The second No Email Day. The first was 11/11/11. The idea is to try to go 24 hours without email. What to use in its place? Most anything else from F2F, Phone, txt, social media or smoke signals. </p>
<p>Here are several #noemail stories to keep you warm as we approach the Day. Turn up the gas log fire. Burn a few pixels. Relax. As Mother Jones said: “Sit down and read. Educate yourself for the coming conflicts.”</p>
<p>BaseLine presents a report in the dreaded slide show format called <a href="http://www.baselinemag.com/messaging-and-collaboration/slideshows/workers-cant-or-wont-escape-from-their-email/">&#8220;Workers Can&#8217;t (or Won&#8217;t) Escape From Their eMail&#8221;</a>. </p>
<p>The BaseLine report is a retelling of the Minecast reports filed under <a href="http://www.mimecast.com/shapeofemail/shape-of-email.html">&#8220;The Shape of Email&#8221; </a>. </p>
<p>The first report <a href="http://www.mimecast.com/shapeofemail/shape-of-email.html">&#8220;What Mimecast knows about email&#8221;</a> looks at the inboxes of corporate email users in a handy interactive infographic format. Mimecast is unique in that they survey users in the US, UK and South Africa. Some small differences there to be seen. </p>
<p>The second report <a href="http://www.mimecast.com/shapeofemail/infographics/end-users.html">&#8220;What end users think&#8221;</a> looks at user opinions and deceptions. For example, 25% of those surveyed say that they sent emails late at night from home in order to show their commitment to their jobs. 57% reported spending over half their work day on email (27% spent writing; 30% spent reading).</p>
<p>A third report or infographic looks at <a href="http://www.mimecast.com/shapeofemail/infographics/it-professionals.html">&#8220;What IT Professionals Think&#8221;</a> about their email. Only 30% of IT professionals delete mail from their archives. 64% fear that social media poses a security risk. Only 1 in 5 or 20% believe that social media has an impact on email use.</p>
<p>Not exactly social or #noemail related, well perhaps indirectly related: <a href="http://www.journalism.org/">The Pew Research Center&#8217;s Excellence in Journalism Project</a> released a new report on the <a href="http://www.journalism.org/node/31859">&#8220;Demographics of Mobile News&#8221; </a>. The <a href="http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/mediawire/197616/pew-younger-people-click-on-tablet-ads-older-people-more-likely-to-pay/">data represented by Poynte</a>r shows a significant change in device use from smartphone to tablet at about age 50 (more granularity of data would be helpful in understanding the points and trends of change). One simple explanation, that I&#8217;ve been giving out at my recent talks, is that this is exactly the age that our eyes begin to change. When we need, but resist bifocals. When the print is<strong> just too damn small!</strong>. The rise of tablets will hasten the death of email among the group most resistant to change &#8212; men over 50.</p>
<p>Tomorrow, enjoy #noemail on No Email Day.</p>
