My smart phone listens to my conversations even when it is not on. My GPS
tracks me even when I know where I’m going. My credit cards track all my
purchases. The camera in my computer watches me. Maybe the camera in my
smart TV watches me too. I go through life sending out little electronic
messages revealing everything I say, everywhere I go, everything I buy,
and everyone I talk to. Artificial Intelligence claims it can predict my
actions and even my thoughts before I have them. It claims it can
influence what I do and even how I vote. Is this the world of
interconnectedness we dreamed of 25 years ago at the dawn of the
internet age? How can we control it instead of it predicting our moves
and nudging us?

Micky is involved in the “free software for community building” movement
and the Platform Cooperativism movement. She helps Agaric's work
contribute back to these movements. She also handles some administrative
tasks, public outreach, and support as part of the team. She is a

building” movement - using tools like Drupal, BigBlueButton video chat

Internet to take control of their online presence and stay safe. She

the first and largest Role Playing HTML chat sites on the Internet and
hosting one of the first peer-to-peer text-based hacker chatrooms for
people to learn HTML, as well as being a pioneer in online video chat
servers and creating an early site like YouTube in 1997.
