• “He turned round. It was his
friend Syme, who worked in the
Research Department. Perhaps
'friend' was not exactly the right
word. You did not have friends
nowadays, you had comrades:
but there were some comrades
whose society was pleasanter
than that of others.”
• (from the Dystopian novel '1984' written by
George Orwell)

SCHEMA – Bem(1981)
“a cognitive structure, a network of associations that organizes and guides an
individual's perception. A schema functions as an anticipatory structure, a
readiness to search for and assimilate incoming information in schemarelevant terms.”
“If you want a picture of
the future, imagine a
boot stamping on a
human face for ever.”

Target Audience: Anyone using internet messaging software
The Output Medium: Navigable web applet, and Psychological assessment
system.
The Output Location: Online public system so as anyone can view risk
assessments of their colleagues.
The Aim: To exemplify the point that there is only so far we should go on the route
to absolute security, and the globalization of information. We have to
understand that privacy is a fundamental part of our lives, and can affect our
social groups in a very negative way.
What Will I Produce:
• Part 1: Program distributed to each user which looks at the chat software they
use most, creates a log of their chat, and publishes it as a txt file to an online
folder!
• Part 2: An online shockwave applet that looks at a selected user, and creates
a map using their chat logs! This map then does a risk assessment on the
user, and projects preferred online friends if required.

Viewable Report 4
Looks at other users on the database, and suggests any preferable friends
Looks not only at users friends, but also at friends of friends
Uses profile information in other
chats, to determine whether
anybody else would be preferable
to chat to, and whether better
social groups are out there to
replace the ‘socially inept’ ones the
user is currently in!
