Mark A.M. Kramer is a nomadic researcher, a member of the Research Hybrid; Geekus-Humanus or (Humano-geek for short) He is a Socio-Techno Amphibian, a rare breed of human who is equally comfortable within Technology and Social Science circles. Exploring the outer fringes of our emerging information society.
I am fascinated with observing what individuals use to communicate with. I believe that we need a physical tool to help us "grasp" our communication processess. When using a pen or a mobile phone we are physically engaged in communicating.

I observe commuters media consumption habits while traveling and I wonder what they are thinking. Do these people enjoy what they listen to or read? It is hard to simply evaluate others true emotions through facial expressions. For all I know these two could be Vulcans, supressing their emotions! :-)p

It is 06:00ish on a cold wet morning commute. A women taps vigorously on her laptop, probably updating her facebook status. I am always amazed at how many people use their early morning commute to maintain their online social network. It makes me wonder if they take this opportunity now yo do so because they are less likely to be able to while at work.
As this woman uses her laptop behemouth (desktop replacement) I am swiftly tapping these thoughts on my mobile, engaging in an act of ubiquitous communication.

These are the visual slides for my presentation for the Online Round Table / Session #3 – mLearning: LINK to ONLINE EVENT LINK: EVOLVE in Partnership with Educamp. Seminar on Mobile Learning Abstract:The application of computer-generated imagery in live-video streams on mobile devices, as a way to expand the real-world, is finally available for the masses on an affordable basis. Augmented and mixed-reality scenarios are now a common fixture of our technology arsenal of methods to acquire information about our surroundings. This emergence of augmented reality (AR) also has great potential to support individual and group learning. I will share thoughts and experiences on how AR will change the way we view and experience learning in a situated context.
