'Ever since a presentation I saw some ethnographers from Intel give at Ubicomp in Tokyo last year, I've increasingly been thinking about questions like these in terms of "mobile kits," and the urban infrastructures to which the components of same afford access.'The ethnographers' interest was in understanding that subset of the things we carry on a daily basis with the primary intention of mediating between our needs and desires and the various technical systems capable of fulfilling them. At least for the relatively privileged and globalized cohort the Intel research focused on, this amounted to a very few near-universals: house keys, car key or transit pass, ATM and credit cards, mobile phone.'And it should surprise nobody - least of all Intel, right? - that these objects are all at most the physical tokens of transactions that are increasingly become digital.'(((Hey, yeah. What he said.)))
