Sunday, July 23, 2006: 10:00 am (Area "A"): Ever wish you had the power to turn off a TV in a restaurant or disable an intrusive cell phone? Social defensive technologies are "reality hacking" devices that give us the sort of sociopathic control we've come to enjoy on the Internet alone. Three years ago, Mitch Altman decided he'd had enough of televisions and designed the TV-B-Gone, a universal "off" keychain remote. Around the same time, Ladyada designed a personal RF jammer. Together they will discuss these projects in the context of reclaiming personal space, culture-jamming, and how we can design technologies that do what we really want. Don't expect good WiFi/cell reception.
