knowledge
‘all can access or edit, with the idea being that it will grow with everyone's contributions (so I am not really in charge of populating it, WE are)’
‘Classical music plays [...] in the background’ and ‘I found the basketball game to be awkward. The area of play is narrow’.
‘we need to be careful what we share and how we present information as parents WILL innocently misuse techniques [...] or misdiagnose their own children – potentially to their own detriment’.
commoditisation
‘I have worked for 6 months on this list in my spare time after school’
‘there is a PayPal button [...] if you would like to donate’
‘The app world is very Vendor driven – those with the deepest pockets are getting the most coverage through peer review sites, many of whom are driven by give-aways and freebies’
future work
