safer feeling home security/feminst IoT
Adjust IoT so that the user interface makes people feel measureably safer so they leave windows and doors open, 2020 feminism to my perception urged others to exhibit fewer perceivable as threatening behaviors, this IoT interface causes a quantitatively measurablefeeling of greater safety | |
IoT things like doorbell cams and porch cans and even baby monitors have different users interfaces. They could measure the effect and effectiveness of the user interfaces of these on users' perception of how safe and reassured they were from having them. Messages like "all good" might be measureable
as causing greater feeling of well being than "secured", or a graphic with a bunch of green rectangles for "all windows closed and yard perimeter on" could be replaced with "yard and windows fine, nothing new today"
Just as they research effective advertising slogans they could research IoT things that cause a feeling of positive well being.
Now for the potentially dubious feminism part. During 2020 I got the feeling that at least some feminists urged people to be attentive to the body language and speech they emitted, with the possibility of noting the possibility of substituting neutrality, when neutrality was felt, rather than something some people might misinterpret. Sounds fine to me. There is the possibility that IoT could have a "you're safe in your house" or, of interest to both parents, "baby's doing great, I just don't report the gentle cooing unless you want me to!" At some imaginable IoT, "the new car parked out front actually visits the neighbors a couple times a week, likely they know the neighbors."

So bad that it has a sort of bizarre grandeur all of its own ... [8th of 7, Feb 19 2020]

Last I checked (and things may have got better) IoT had a
terrible reputation for security-holes. |
|
| |
So, more ubiquitous IoT might translate to more stalking and
less privacy. |

"1984" in this season's Pantone colors is arguably even more
dystopian than "1984" in concrete grey. |

Steady on, [Voice]; I'm not saying you're wrong, but, in this forum,
your remark reminds me of a man serving an ace into an empty
tennis court. Save it for a forum where someone might hit it
back with some spin on it. Then, at least, we'd all have
something worth watching. |

The Ring doorbell is an absolute marvel, in as much as it
has already allowed me to file an official complaint about
a Fedex driver who claimed that nobody was home to
deliver the package, and in at least one case I know
personally, recorded a delivery driver hitting a parked car
and thus covering damage to the car. |

It's hackability, and that of laptop cameras, baby
monitors, etc is of course a huge concern, but as I said to
the Samsung tech who took over my bedroom TV
remotely to tinker with it, can I get a monthly discount if
you guys are watching me? |

I have a theory that the volume of responses seeking further explanation to Halfbakery ideas which are hard to understand follows a bell curve. Ideas which are completely plain and understandable get no responses asking questions or seeking explanations of how the idea works. Then as ideas become increasingly complex, obscure, or hard to understand, there is an increasing number of such requests. This carries on, up to a critical threshold of idea obscurity. After this point, people don't quite know where to start or can't be bothered. As ideas become more and more hard to understand the volume of responses seeking explanation will diminish until you reach an idea which is so cryptic or which clearly will only ever make sense to its author that it evokes no responses at all seeking further explanation. |

I don't understand this idea. |
|
| |
Not actually a bell curve in the technical sense since it would not be a symmetrical distribution. |
|
| |
//until you reach an idea which is so cryptic // hence my
assertion that while an idea creating chatbot for the HB is
probably still difficult to achieve, an annotating chatbot
could already be quite effective. To wit. |
|
| |
Translation obviously plays a part in idea obscurity. For
quite a while now I've been a fan of Chinese medieval
shows, which are amply available now on Netflix and
Amazon. As they rely more on and more on computerized
translation for the subtitles, the ability to understand
what's actually going on diminishes (but the
entertainment value does not). Recently, a show got
pulled from Amazon but was still on YouTube , using what
looked like completely automated subtitles -- and it was
quit hilarious with constant mixing up of pronouns and
the like -- but you could still kind of get the gist of it. |

<Quietly awards point for guessing correctly that this was a [beany] idea just from the title/> |

Sounds very like "The Water Margin", although that was done with a clunky mix of bad dubbing and voice-overs. |
|

I know what the internet of things is. I read the article in
calum's link, about the feeling you get when installing an
IoT doorbell. |
|
| |
I also know the meaning of the following terms: a web cam,
feminism, feeling safe at home, perceived-as-threatening
behaviors, quantitatively measurable, and what urge
means. |
|
| |
What I don't understand is how you intend to compare te
unoffensive app's messages to those of an offending one, if,
following the new feminist directives, there will be no
offending apps? |
