Presence and the design of trust (PhD Thesis)
C.I.M. Nevejan, 2007
Designing presence in environments where technology plays a critical role is critical. Particularly in the current times when social systems such as law, education, healthcare and business all face major challenges when it comes to guaranteed, safe, reliable and cheap services in which people communicate with and through technology.
The speed and scale of information collection and dissemination facilitated by technology today requires a redesign of basic concepts for our modern societies in terms of ownership, copyright, privacy, liability, responsibility and so on. The research question assumes that there is a phenomenon that we need to understand much better than we do now.
