Consumers & Creators
Helen Goss
what I do!
Help people find out what they want to communicate
Help them com it using multi media & new media
Show them how to publish it
Warn them of the repercussions
Show them the tools for safety online
Talk about responsibility
Explain the business concept behind ‘free services’
Demonstrate techniques to being found online, for spreading their message
Having fun, experimenting, teaching me!
Consumer?
Creator?

MIT Lab May 2012 Mimi Ito
Cultural Anthropologist: She explores the ways in which digital media are
changing relationships, identities, and communities
“Don’t just celebrate that kids do
amazing things”
“The reality is that this is not scaling,
Institutions are having problems
getting to grips with these
systems shared social goals”
“Create good principals for good
participation online. Good use of
technology for having engaged,
participatory learning. Can we put
this forward in the world for
people to discover positive
opportunities.”

Now
‘Digital Natives’
Imagine this
You can no longer use the Internet
We have taken over the TV and Radio stations
We have disabled the phone networks
We have access to your Digital Dossiers and your
Personal Identification Information
We know everything about you
await our next instruction
Would you
help create the new world
or would you
be controlled?
What do we have in the room?
Reactions of the Young People
Some young people said they would pay
someone else to do the creating
Some were not interested at all creating
The geeks became heroes, understanding SOPA
and the anonymous movement
1/3 were receptive & wanted to learn more
Small but significant numbers wanted to learn
more

young people

• Support young people to be creators, not consumers
• Encourage co-design/co-design with young people
• Consider the livelihoods of the future
• Use digital tools to enable peer-to-peer learning
• Use technology to personalise services
• Be network literate and create new connections
• Recognise the diversity of youth
Do you feel anything can be added?
