  2. Download This Show - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Making Data Sexy, Tumblr-Yahoo There was a time when ‘data’ was considered to be nothing more than boring numbers. But now, thanks to the rise of infographics, data visualisation and app development, data is sexy and actually quite popular. We talk to one of the world’s leading data visualists and the team behind the Aussie app reinventing the way we interact with Australian Bureau of Statistics information. Plus, "We promise not to screw it up"; these were the words of the CEO of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer, as she announced that the family-friendly internet giant was about to spend a billion dollars on buying the picture blogging site tumblr. What is there to screw up? Find out in this show.

  5. The rise of micro-labour - Future Tense - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Micro-labour isn’t a clever way of describing a recalcitrant colleague’s deficient work practices. And it has nothing to do with nano-technology either. It’s about using the Internet to outsource small tasks to eager workers – sort of like a digital notice-board for odd jobs and errands. It sounds like the perfect way to earn extra income. But could its growing popularity erode working conditions and lead to exploitation?

    Guests:
    Professor Jonathan Zittrain, Harvard Law School, Harvard Kennedy School of Government, Professor of Computer Science, Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Co-Founder and Director, Berkman Centre for Internet & Society.
    Jamie Viggiano, Senior Director of Marketing at TaskRabbit.

  8. Who should control the Internet? - Future Tense - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    A growing number of countries want to change the way the Internet is controlled. Opponents claim it’s about greater government control. But just how serious is the threat?

    Ever heard of the International Telecommunications Union? No? Well it’s a relatively obscure UN body which some countries are pushing to take greater control of the Internet (read China, Russia, Iran). The idea is to centralise governance.

    Those opposed claim it’s about greater government control of the Internet, and they’ve launched a pre-emptive attack ahead of the ITU’s next meeting in December 2012. But just how serious is the threat? We take you to the first Australian Internet Governance Forum.

    We often think of our digital world as something that’s not about physical stuff, but about things that happen out there in the air, in space. We speak of cyber space and cloud-computing.
