Artalejo: Our society is busier than ever. Asks audience how many ppl. Launch an iPhone app before getting out of bed. 35% of audience does. What are they doing with the rest of the day? How do we design or lives with that much attention to data?
First speaker for the "Design Your Life" section is Johnny White.
White, talking about media psychology; two of the most powerful forces shaping our lives are (1) the way we tell our own story and (2) the stories we experience through media (including the Web, TV, ads.. Mobile device).
White: It used to be that we were fed media, but now we're creating it ourselves.
White: Try to understand media and how it affects us.
