On Tuesday, November 24, 2015 the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University presented Robin Chase, cofounder of Zipcar and Veniam, and author of Peers Inc: How People and Platforms are Inventing the Collaborative Economy and Reinventing Capitalism, giving a talk Privacy in a world of IoT, self driving cars, and a climate crisis. In the talk she lays out a near term future where communications and software platforms will deliver us smart cities, smart homes, and ubiquitous clean low cost shared transport. On the one hand we have an environmental imperative to get co2 emissions under control, use assets efficiently, deliver thriving sustainable cities. On the other hand, at what cost to privacy?

Get the My Tracks app

Mapping the Hood is conceived as a mapping initiative to define and empower New York City neighborhoods. It seeks to generate neighborhood maps by piggybacking on Transportation Alternatives’ 2011 Bikemonth. The maps will initially be displayed on NYCwiki.org, a dotNeighborhood’s development site. Later, with the activation of the .nyc TLD, they will be used in support of the city’s neighborhoods in sites such as Astoria.nyc, BrooklynHeights.nyc, Chelsea.nyc…

This Saturday May 21 2011 participating bikers will activate the My Tracks app on their Android phones, slip the phone in their pocket or backpack, circumnavigate their neighborhood (perhaps adding some ID pins), then email the My Tracks file to ConnectingNYC. Contributors will receive an invite to a ‘Mapaganzza’  event later that day.
