[GiftEconomy] Digital Currencies as "Pervasive Computing" ? Fwd: [Urbanscreens-l] Call for Papers - Pervasive Intelligibility Workshop (in conjunction with Pervasive 2011)

Tue Jan 4 10:46:33 PST 2011

I just forwarded your email to Dr. Katherine Albrecht, Ed.D, founder of
Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering. I think the
idea of pervasive computing, including any currency application is fraught
with privacy issues.
