[scs] Curriculum

Molly Wright Steenson talks about some interesting student experiments. In one, students put up official-looking "Silence please!" signs in a car of an Italian commuter train, resulting in that car being the loudest in the train. Another was a favor bank. Another, Mass Distraction, studies the social interactions around being interrupted by cellphones: In one example, you have to close your hood around your entire head in order to take a call. In another, if you get a call, you have to give your friend a video game to play and your call lasts only as long as she keeps on playing. At FashionVictims you can see clothing that bleeds when it comes in contact with cellphone radiation. [Technorati tags: scs2005 SocialSoftware mollySteenson]
