Abstract

Conventional broadcasting has the impressive power to create shared experiences over huge audiences or even entire populations. The sharing of such experiences deepens our sense of connectedness with others, which in turn arguably leads to positive effects in society as a whole. Interactive television and related technologies have the potential to further collapse distance and broaden these positive effects of broadcasting—enabling new modes of communication, providing an enhanced sense of community, offering opportunities to meet new people, and allowing us to build relationships in new ways. This chapter surveys a number of research projects undertaken in the Human Connectedness group at Media Lab Europe and at Distance Lab that address these themes, as a way to suggest new trends at the intersection of television, networking, and computing.
