On memory, I've been looking into the increase in the use of technology to store records, photographs, videos, blogs, facebook, twitter etc etc etc. The result is in effect a huge outsourcing of memory, analogous to the changes in society and personal psychology that followed the coming of writing and the development of a literate society. I don't think we've really thought very deeply about the social changes that we might expect when we will be leaving these enormous and semi-permanent footprints behind us.

At Southampton University we are beginning some experiments with students developing devices for recording our daily lives, based on Microsoft's Sensecam, which I should be able to report on.

I blogged about this a while ago at http://www.bcs.org/server.php?show=ConBlogEntry.1155, to give a sense of what we are saying.

Re privacy, I've been looking at various issues to do with the invasion of our privacy by technology, as recorded in such terms as the 'database state' or the 'surveillance society'. I wrote a book about this last year, and to get a flavour you can download a chapter from http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/15683/. I tried to work out the balance between unwarranted storing and use of information, and the great value that can be achieved by collecting and analysing data, so that we don't throw the scientific baby out with the political bathwater. But there is no doubt our traditional notions of privacy are coming under great strain, and the battle is currently being lost.

In the style of the BBC program "Question Time", join us for an evening of Q & A on Open Source software. Dorset Branch is pleased to welcome the Open Source Group - http://ossg.bcs.org/ - for an entertaining evening debating this hot topic. Is Linux the answer to everything? Can Open Source software provide a real viable alternative in the business world?

A panel of "experts" will be available to answer your questions and adjudicating events will be the Dorset Branch Chair, Dr Andrew Main. If you have a question please submit this before the event to dorset_events@bcs.org.uk although, just like the real programme, we will take some questions on the night.
