The Biocitizen and New Media Technologies
The Biocitizen and New Media Technologies
In May 2007, IFTF’s Health Horizons Program held the Biocitizen and New Media Technologies conference to explore the convergence of trends around new media, health, and biocitizenship. We presented five video scenarios to illustrate our forecast of biocitizens’ usage of new media technologies in the coming decade. After the conference, we launched a new Web site to demonstrate the participatory nature of new media. The Web site sought to encourage interactive communication with our clients around the potential implications of engaged biocitizens equipped with new media tools. This report provides an overview of the concept of biocitizenship and summarizes various types of social media.
