From an information design

Submitted by Brett Ommen on Wed, 2008-03-26 10:53.

From an information design standpoint, there's a really biting critiqe about the ways we value privacy issues. The computer interface pops up an alert window for health charges on the double meat pizza, an alert window for a local robbery, and an alert window for free tofu sticks. It's all valued the same graphically, and that's a common theme in prvacy discussions. People are more interested in saving spare change at the grocery store than they are about saving the few spaces where privacy is still protected. The video is excellent on so many counts, so thanks for the post.
