11:00 Mobile experiences for Generation C - Dr. Paul Coulton, Lancaster University

The term Generation C has been coined to describe a group of individuals who readily embrace the paradigms of Web 2.0. Unlike Generation X and Generation Y who defined a demographic in terms of the time in which they were born this generation is bound more by behaviour particularly in terms of being willing to produce and share content. Mobile has a great opportunity to engage this group using very novel and uniquely mobile experiences. This talk will discuss the enablers for activities to flourish in terms of the underlying paradigms whilst providing very novel examples of such experiences operting  in practice.
