"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Here’s an excerpt of what Lin first reported:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“MTV, Nintendo, virtual reality games. It’s the kids, not the grandparents who program the VCR. Kids carry pagers, even when their parents don’t. They seem to be plugged in and wired all the time, everywhere.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plugged in and wired all the time. But Lin also wondered if that was enough to help students at the time think about a future where they could be the creators of technology. At least one teacher in the piece remarked that he felt students had a surface understanding of technology. \u003cem>“They know what video games are … MTV. You get about 3 seconds of attention, and then they move on.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I decided to go back to Fremont High to see if anything has changed, and I found that the school almost feels like reporter Harry Lin described it 25 years ago:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“There’s a wrought-iron fence encircling the school here in the working-class flatlands of East Oakland,” remarked Lin in his story. “Aggressively plain buildings and a smattering of temporary trailers turned permanent classrooms hunker down inside the encampment. The green windbreakers the guards wear say “security” across the back. Armed with walkie talkies, they patrol the fences’ gates … the grounds’ walkways … the buildings’ stairwells.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trailers are gone, but the wrought-iron fence is still there, and so are the security guards. The day before my visit, the school was on lockdown. A student brought a gun to school. Media studies teacher Jasmene Miranda is doing her best to get things back to normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“OK, I’m going to lock this door so that we don’t have any more interruptions!” Miranda yells. She’s been planning this day for months — a special demo for her Media Academy class. It’s a hackathon — where her students will come up with ways to use augmented and virtual reality to improve their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Francisco Pantaleon, 18, quickly finishes up a game of Fortnite with his friends and directs his attention to Miranda and a presenter from a virtual reality company. The idea of virtual reality excites him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11666039\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11666039\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/FremontStudentsWorking-e1525383096344.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students in the Media Academy at Fremont High School in East Oakland work on a solution for a community problem using virtual reality. \u003ccite>(Tonya Mosley/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Well, the thing is real life kinda sometimes stinks sometimes, and we need to get away and have a little bit of fun time,” Pantaleon says with a smile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11666036\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11666036\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/FranciscoPic-e1525383257847.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Francisco Pantaleon, 18, wants to be a video game designer one day. \u003ccite>(Tonya Mosley/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Pantaleon wants to be a video game designer one day.

What can we be on the back end? We can be the creators,” Miranda says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a thought process Miranda wishes she had when she was a student here in ‘93. When KQED visited Fremont High that same year, the school’s Media Academy was hailed as a program teaching kids about the latest in technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you think of what was available back then, we didn’t really have access to that,” Miranda says. “There was a mention of VR, and I do remember the discussions back then.

Fremont High struggles with attendance problems and low test scores. And Miranda knows the reasons behind those numbers. These students deal with all sorts of things outside of school, like violence and poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes, we have computers, but the amount of students in my academy that actually have access to the internet at home is not as high as you would think it is. So they’re using their cellphone on campus using our Wi-Fi signal, and sometimes they may have a cellphone, but that doesn’t mean that their cellphone is actually operating,” Miranda says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most eager students in the piece from 1993 was Benjamin Brooks. Miranda helped me track him down through Facebook. KQED’s Lin said Brooks didn’t have a cellphone, but he was a tech head nonetheless. Here’s Brooks, 17, back then:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“Technology is just to make everything easier, you know. Computers are an easier way of filing and storing information. So I think it’s you know, just another stair step. Who knows what we’ll be able to do later on.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To hear my voice, being so young. It really took me back,” Brooks laughed during a recent phone conversation. Brooks now lives in Sacramento and works as a program technician for the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. And he’s happy with what he does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when I asked if it had ever crossed his mind back then, the possibility that he or his classmates or friends could be a part of creating technology in Silicon Valley, he got really quiet, and then said this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where I grew up at, I represent the area of people where we are just going to consume. So we get information, enough information so that we can perpetually consume and teach our kids how to consume, and the curriculum that we have leads to us consuming, not inventing and creating. And it’s a cog in the machine that keeps certain things in play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brooks says he’s proud that Jasmene Miranda is getting kids to think of themselves as more than passive consumers. And Miranda says, while all of her students may not make the connections right now, she believes by planting the seeds, one day, they will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11666048\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11666048\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/JasmeneVR-e1525384203503.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teacher Jasmene Miranda working with a student on a virtual reality project. \u003ccite>(Tonya Mosley/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Maybe they’re in college, and they meet up with someone in their dorm room, and they decide they want to develop an app — and they create a company, and they make sure they hire more youth of Oakland, and they start listening to pitches like what they experieneced today,” Miranda says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And just maybe — 25 years from now — we’ll be telling that story.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Here’s an excerpt of what Lin first reported:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“MTV, Nintendo, virtual reality games. It’s the kids, not the grandparents who program the VCR. Kids carry pagers, even when their parents don’t. They seem to be plugged in and wired all the time, everywhere.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plugged in and wired all the time. But Lin also wondered if that was enough to help students at the time think about a future where they could be the creators of technology. At least one teacher in the piece remarked that he felt students had a surface understanding of technology. \u003cem>“They know what video games are … MTV. You get about 3 seconds of attention, and then they move on.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I decided to go back to Fremont High to see if anything has changed, and I found that the school almost feels like reporter Harry Lin described it 25 years ago:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“There’s a wrought-iron fence encircling the school here in the working-class flatlands of East Oakland,” remarked Lin in his story. “Aggressively plain buildings and a smattering of temporary trailers turned permanent classrooms hunker down inside the encampment. The green windbreakers the guards wear say “security” across the back. Armed with walkie talkies, they patrol the fences’ gates … the grounds’ walkways … the buildings’ stairwells.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Please sell our stock and don't buy it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, as if for emphasis, he said it again: \"I think that if people are concerned about volatility they should definitely not buy our stock.

Tesla's stock price tumbled in after-hours trading during the investor call.

So they write inflammatory headlines that are fundamentally misleading to the readers. It's really outrageous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk said that despite the record loss in the first quarter, Tesla could see profits by year end. Tesla will undergo \"a sort of reorganization, restructuring\" this month to help achieve that goal, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The number of sort of third-party contracting companies that we're using has really gotten out of control, so we're going to scrub the barnacles on that front,\" Musk added. \"It's pretty crazy.

But he took that to a new level in a remarkably blunt and contentious call with Wall Street analysts Wednesday after the automaker reported a record loss of more than $700 million last quarter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Excuse me. Next, next,\" an irritated Musk said on \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-03/elon-musk-s-most-dumbfounding-moments-on-tesla-s-earnings-call\">the conference call\u003c/a> with analysts who follow the company. \"Boring, bonehead questions are not cool. Next?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To a question about the Tesla Model 3, which has had a slower-than-expected rollout, Musk replied: \"These questions are so dry. They're killing me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR's Sonari Glinton \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/05/03/607996849/tesla-is-burning-through-cash-at-an-even-greater-rate-than-expected\">reports\u003c/a>, investors are getting nervous about the production delays in Tesla's most affordable model, and the company's stock has been volatile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have no interest in satisfying the desires of day traders,\" Musk said Wednesday. \"I couldn't care less. Please sell our stock and don't buy it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tesla's stock price tumbled in after-hours trading during the investor call. It was down more than 6 percent as of this morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk also complained about how much media attention a few fatal accidents involving autonomous features on Tesla's cars are getting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Actually, they shouldn't really be writing the story,\" he said. \"They should be writing the story about how autonomous cars are really safe, but that's not the story that people want to click on. So they write inflammatory headlines that are fundamentally misleading to the readers. It's really outrageous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk said that despite the record loss in the first quarter, Tesla could see profits by year end. Tesla will undergo \"a sort of reorganization, restructuring\" this month to help achieve that goal, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The number of sort of third-party contracting companies that we're using has really gotten out of control, so we're going to scrub the barnacles on that front,\" Musk added. \"It's pretty crazy.

For the first story, head \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11665625/virtual-worlds-reassessing-our-tech-predictions-25-years-later\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.

KQED sent out its Silicon Valley reporter Peter Jon Shuler to look into the early promise of the internet, to explore a new idea — that this new complex network would enable and encourage us to make our own creative stuff: photos, movies, music and so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea that, armed with the latest digital gadgets, individuals and communities will shake off the mindless passivity of couch potato consumerism and actually talk back,” former KQED host Harry Lin intoned, leading into Shuler’s piece.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, what was a projection is now a reality. In a matter of minutes, I can upload a video of my cat Bear onto YouTube. Apple’s photo program makes it easy to build a slideshow after its filters and trimming tools helps me touch up the not-so-good snaps. Adobe’s Audition allows me to merge a recording of Bear purring with a rendition of “Sunday Kind of Love” — a rendition my sister Shira Myrow recorded and sent to me from her home studio. To top it all off, #tags help a larger public find my upload.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1tZ84j5Kos]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technology has in many ways democratized the means of creative production. And some say it may also soon surpass humans in producing creative content through artificial intelligence, but that’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13819186/are-computers-becoming-better-at-composing-music-than-humans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another story\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OK, so back again to 1993, when Shuler talked about a word coined by the futurist \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/30/books/alvin-toffler-author-of-future-shock-dies-at-87.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alvin Toffler\u003c/a>: prosumer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He had a slightly different meaning in mind when he fused the word producer and consumer, but “prosuming” seems an apt label for the kind of free-flowing give-and-take now practiced by users of the net,” Shuler explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Free-flowing give-and-take was the intent behind the Internet Underground Music Archive. Now defunct, it was an \u003ca href=\"https://archive.org/details/iuma-archive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">archived\u003c/a> website dedicated to helping music lovers find the kind of obscure music that labels weren’t signing or promoting.

KQED sent out its Silicon Valley reporter Peter Jon Shuler to look into the early promise of the internet, to explore a new idea — that this new complex network would enable and encourage us to make our own creative stuff: photos, movies, music and so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea that, armed with the latest digital gadgets, individuals and communities will shake off the mindless passivity of couch potato consumerism and actually talk back,” former KQED host Harry Lin intoned, leading into Shuler’s piece.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, what was a projection is now a reality. In a matter of minutes, I can upload a video of my cat Bear onto YouTube. Apple’s photo program makes it easy to build a slideshow after its filters and trimming tools helps me touch up the not-so-good snaps. Adobe’s Audition allows me to merge a recording of Bear purring with a rendition of “Sunday Kind of Love” — a rendition my sister Shira Myrow recorded and sent to me from her home studio. To top it all off, #tags help a larger public find my upload.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/w1tZ84j5Kos'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/w1tZ84j5Kos'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technology has in many ways democratized the means of creative production.

Controversial content included addressing the emotional aspects of sex and sexual activity; the possibility that as adults, people may have more than one sexual partner; and inclusive LGBTQ lessons, like on transgender individuals and gender fluidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up until the vote, sex ed had been taught in Fremont schools to fifth and sixth graders since the 1980s, and to fourth graders since 2011. The board approved the update to sex ed in seventh through ninth grades — which they were essentially required to do to comply with the California Healthy Youth Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The majority of people here wanted to have sex education for fourth, fifth and sixth grade,” said school board member Larry Sweeney, who voted against the \u003ca href=\"https://www.boarddocs.com/ca/fremont/Board.nsf/public\">new sex ed instruction\u003c/a>. “We just couldn’t agree on the content so the consequence is now there’s no sex education for fourth, fifth and sixth grades.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hundreds of parents, along with some teachers and current and former students, have flooded four Fremont Unified school board meetings in the past two months, deeply divided over how to teach students as young as fourth grade about sex and sexuality. Amid the dispute, some opponents and supporters have lodged accusations of racism, homophobia and transphobia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This curriculum strives to combat and confront things like sexual assault and bigotry,” said a supporter, parent Pallavi Somusetty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s too much details for them to digest,” countered Sunitha Devi Gopalan, a parent opposing the new instruction. “It’s actually going to kill their innocence, that’s what I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leena Yin, a Fremont schools graduate who teaches sexual health in the East Bay, had presented to the board a petition with more than 1,000 signatures from students who supported the new sex ed curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that what is best for the students and what the students are asking for was ignored is the most frustrating part of this whole process,” Yin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11666223/fremont-ends-sex-ed-for-fourth-through-six-graders-after-curriculum-controversy\">Following the vote\u003c/a>, the school board said it would convene a panel of parents and experts to try to reach a consensus on a sex ed curriculum that respects the beliefs of parents and adheres to state standards for next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. congressman for the area, Rep. Ro Khanna, decried the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The repercussions of this are drastic: the board not only voted to reject CHYA compliant education but eliminated any sexual education for children at all,” he said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/RoKhannaUSA/posts/1725648827481420\">post on Facebook\u003c/a>. “Sex education is critical for the safety of individuals of all ages, and this policy will silence voices, put students in danger, and increase overall risk in our communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reaching Compliance\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rolled out in 2016, the \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2015/sex-ed-to-become-mandatory-in-grades-7-12-in-california/88248\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California Healthy Youth Act\u003c/span>\u003c/a> set some of the most progressive sex ed requirements in the country: The curriculum includes instruction on same-sex relationships and different gender identities, with additional lessons on consent and sexual assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law makes sexual education a requirement starting in seventh grade. When sex ed is taught at earlier ages, the law requires those lessons follow state guidelines.

His son, who is in fifth grade, was too young for these explicit details, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of the stuff that they talk about is, in my opinion, very, very inappropriate,” Hsu said. “In fourth grade, they are going to start talking about erections, they are going to talk about wet dreams. In fifth grade, they actually talk about if the male and female have sexual intercourse then the penis is inserted into the vagina.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though parents could opt their kids out of the course, students can find out what is being taught, said Sylvia Wong, whose daughter is in sixth grade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She told me one day, ‘Mom, I know all these things already. Because kids who attended the class talk about things like, it’s so gross, that just took away my innocence,’” Wong said. “When I heard that I was really angry. Because you think that you can opt out and protect your child, and raise her up in a more traditional and conservative way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They even talk about love-making positions,” she added. “They talk about sexual intercourse, anal sex. These things, I’m even ashamed to talk about it. I’m 45 years old, I don’t want my 10-year-old girl to be involved in that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the new sex ed curriculum said talking about sex early can decrease sexual activity among young people. Pallavi Somusetty, who grew up attending Fremont public schools, said she wishes she had sex ed instruction earlier and she wants it for her children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sex ed happened two years too late for me” — two years, she said, after she got her period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lessons about consent, included in the new curriculum, came far too late for her best friend, who she said was sexually abused by a South Asian Fremont man in the 1990s. Somusetty said lessons about good touch and bad touch, far from stealing her friend’s innocence, might have protected it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t turn a blind eye to these things, just because a minority of parents, some from my own South Asian community, want to pretend that they don’t exist,” Somusetty said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Has Racism Entered the Debate?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The large majority of parents protesting the new sex ed curriculum were South Asian-American or Chinese-American. About 70 percent of students in the Fremont Unified School District are of Asian descent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the debate has grown more heated, parent Annie He said she was “starting to fear (for) my family’s safety.” She said a post on a public forum about the sex ed instruction attacked “third world style people” for creating taboos about sex ed. As a Chinese immigrant, she said she felt it was a direct attack against her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am highly educated,” Annie He said. She thinks racism has taken over the debate, and singled out South Asian-American and Chinese-American parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents like Annie He said they weren’t opposed to sex education. But they fear this curriculum teaches kids too much, too soon. “We just want to protect our children,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘I Wish Sex Ed Was Made Available to the Parents Here’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11659026\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11659026\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sameer Jha and his mother, Charmaine Hussain, at the Fremont Unified School District Board meeting \u003ccite>(Sandhya Dirks/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Another key part of the debate has been including topics about the LGBTQ community — like diverse sexual and gender identities — in the curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cadiversityconference.com/2018/norcal/bio-sameer-jha.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sameer Jha\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, 16, joined the board meetings with his mom to back inclusive sex ed instruction. Jha said he was bullied constantly in elementary and middle school in Fremont for being feminine and for acting and looking different. It wasn’t until after he left Fremont Unified, and started to commute to a private high school in Oakland, that he could come out to his parents and friends as queer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was very scary,” he said. “Being LGBTQ plus was seen as taboo and I was the first person to come out in my local South Asian community here in Fremont.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, his mother said she had a hard time with his identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had so many fears, so many biases,” Charmaine Hussain said. “There’s so much stigma in our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Hussain is her son’s biggest cheerleader. As a Pakistani immigrant, she said she had to learn what it meant to be queer. Before her son came out, she said, “I didn’t even know that word existed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish sex ed was made available to the parents here,” she said. “I look at the sea of parents who are here in opposition because they’re so fearful of diversity and it makes me really realize how important what my son is doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jha said one of the reasons the inclusive sex ed curriculum is so important is to have kids talk about sexuality — queer and otherwise. He said lessons like this may have prevented his being bullied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some parents opposed to the new curriculum said they didn’t want their kids to be taught about sexual and gender identity, while others said they didn’t want to exclude these topics but felt it was too early for their kids to learn about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parent Taft Ding said he worried about language in the curriculum telling fourth graders they get to decide who they are — echoing the concerns some parents had about lessons on transgender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To tell a girl, an innocent girl, that she is a boy, is evil,” Ding said. “It’s more than wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents like Salil Joshi said his objections had nothing to do with excluding the LGBTQ community — it’s the content matter that concerns him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the seventh grade there is a possibility that oral and anal sex may be discussed in class, I don’t understand why that is necessary,” Joshi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about this objection to the curriculum, Anthony Prickett, a former Fremont student who has returned to support the sex ed update said, “That is how queer people have sex.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Hate Group Involved?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A representative from \u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificjustice.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Pacific Justice Institute\u003c/span>\u003c/a> (PJI), which has been labeled a hate group by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Southern Poverty Law Center\u003c/span>\u003c/a> for its anti-gay rhetoric and support of gay conversion therapy, has joined some of the school board meetings\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PJI President Brad Dacus said his group got involved when a parent reached out to them with concerns over the new curriculum. Dacus, who said PJI isn’t a hate group, told KQED that they are concerned with parental rights and freedom of speech and religion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dacus said his group was monitoring the discussion and awaiting the school board’s decision.

She described her daughter as always wanting to try the experiments she learns in science class at home. “So imagine they are learning about oral sex and anal sex in classrooms, and then they are going out to experiment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it is precisely because kids have curious minds that they should be taught about sex by trained professionals, said Yasi Safinya-Davies, executive director of Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments, or \u003ca href=\"http://save-dv.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">SAVE\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, a Fremont-based nonprofit that provides support to victims of domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not a single parent in this room who knows what it’s like to grow up and have a curiosity about your body and type that into a Google search,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All kids now live in the age of the internet, which doesn’t teach consent, but is just a click away from porn, said Safinya-Davies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her group works with a lot of young people who tell her, “We don’t have adults in our lives who are having earnest, open conversations about our relationships, about our sexuality,” she said. “We didn’t even know what consent was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a parent, she is sympathetic with the opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I absolutely understand the concern that parents have around this curriculum,” she said. “Because if you didn’t grow up learning about your sexuality, and certainly not in a comprehensive way, this is all new.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Pallavi Somusetty, who grew up attending Fremont public schools, said she wishes she had sex ed instruction earlier and she wants it for her children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sex ed happened two years too late for me” — two years, she said, after she got her period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lessons about consent, included in the new curriculum, came far too late for her best friend, who she said was sexually abused by a South Asian Fremont man in the 1990s. Somusetty said lessons about good touch and bad touch, far from stealing her friend’s innocence, might have protected it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t turn a blind eye to these things, just because a minority of parents, some from my own South Asian community, want to pretend that they don’t exist,” Somusetty said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Has Racism Entered the Debate?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The large majority of parents protesting the new sex ed curriculum were South Asian-American or Chinese-American. About 70 percent of students in the Fremont Unified School District are of Asian descent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the debate has grown more heated, parent Annie He said she was “starting to fear (for) my family’s safety.” She said a post on a public forum about the sex ed instruction attacked “third world style people” for creating taboos about sex ed. As a Chinese immigrant, she said she felt it was a direct attack against her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am highly educated,” Annie He said. She thinks racism has taken over the debate, and singled out South Asian-American and Chinese-American parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents like Annie He said they weren’t opposed to sex education. But they fear this curriculum teaches kids too much, too soon. “We just want to protect our children,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘I Wish Sex Ed Was Made Available to the Parents Here’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11659026\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11659026\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_4465-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sameer Jha and his mother, Charmaine Hussain, at the Fremont Unified School District Board meeting \u003ccite>(Sandhya Dirks/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Another key part of the debate has been including topics about the LGBTQ community — like diverse sexual and gender identities — in the curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cadiversityconference.com/2018/norcal/bio-sameer-jha.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sameer Jha\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, 16, joined the board meetings with his mom to back inclusive sex ed instruction. Jha said he was bullied constantly in elementary and middle school in Fremont for being feminine and for acting and looking different. It wasn’t until after he left Fremont Unified, and started to commute to a private high school in Oakland, that he could come out to his parents and friends as queer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was very scary,” he said. “Being LGBTQ plus was seen as taboo and I was the first person to come out in my local South Asian community here in Fremont.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, his mother said she had a hard time with his identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had so many fears, so many biases,” Charmaine Hussain said. “There’s so much stigma in our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Hussain is her son’s biggest cheerleader. As a Pakistani immigrant, she said she had to learn what it meant to be queer. Before her son came out, she said, “I didn’t even know that word existed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish sex ed was made available to the parents here,” she said. “I look at the sea of parents who are here in opposition because they’re so fearful of diversity and it makes me really realize how important what my son is doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jha said one of the reasons the inclusive sex ed curriculum is so important is to have kids talk about sexuality — queer and otherwise. He said lessons like this may have prevented his being bullied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some parents opposed to the new curriculum said they didn’t want their kids to be taught about sexual and gender identity, while others said they didn’t want to exclude these topics but felt it was too early for their kids to learn about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parent Taft Ding said he worried about language in the curriculum telling fourth graders they get to decide who they are — echoing the concerns some parents had about lessons on transgender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To tell a girl, an innocent girl, that she is a boy, is evil,” Ding said. “It’s more than wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents like Salil Joshi said his objections had nothing to do with excluding the LGBTQ community — it’s the content matter that concerns him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the seventh grade there is a possibility that oral and anal sex may be discussed in class, I don’t understand why that is necessary,” Joshi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about this objection to the curriculum, Anthony Prickett, a former Fremont student who has returned to support the sex ed update said, “That is how queer people have sex.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Hate Group Involved?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A representative from \u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificjustice.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Pacific Justice Institute\u003c/span>\u003c/a> (PJI), which has been labeled a hate group by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Southern Poverty Law Center\u003c/span>\u003c/a> for its anti-gay rhetoric and support of gay conversion therapy, has joined some of the school board meetings\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PJI President Brad Dacus said his group got involved when a parent reached out to them with concerns over the new curriculum. Dacus, who said PJI isn’t a hate group, told KQED that they are concerned with parental rights and freedom of speech and religion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dacus said his group was monitoring the discussion and awaiting the school board’s decision. PJI has previously weighed in on various school debates in the Bay Area: It took credit for convincing the \u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificjustice.org/press-releases/pji-convinces-school-district-to-wait-with-regard-to-sex-ed-curriculum\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cupertino Union School District\u003c/span>\u003c/a> to hold off on their sex ed curriculum update last year.

She described her daughter as always wanting to try the experiments she learns in science class at home. “So imagine they are learning about oral sex and anal sex in classrooms, and then they are going out to experiment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it is precisely because kids have curious minds that they should be taught about sex by trained professionals, said Yasi Safinya-Davies, executive director of Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments, or \u003ca href=\"http://save-dv.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">SAVE\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, a Fremont-based nonprofit that provides support to victims of domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not a single parent in this room who knows what it’s like to grow up and have a curiosity about your body and type that into a Google search,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All kids now live in the age of the internet, which doesn’t teach consent, but is just a click away from porn, said Safinya-Davies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her group works with a lot of young people who tell her, “We don’t have adults in our lives who are having earnest, open conversations about our relationships, about our sexuality,” she said. “We didn’t even know what consent was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a parent, she is sympathetic with the opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The ads show a world with cars that display digital maps, telephones that stream live videos and kiosks where you can buy concert tickets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s even a kicker that says someday, maybe soon, we’ll even have the ability to send a fax from the beach. All of these utopian dreams unfold over an upbeat soundtrack, and every ad ends with the narrator saying “you will.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PJcABbtvtA]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost every promise in those ads has come true, but not exactly in the way AT&T predicted. While AT&T might have shown us these possibilities, it was not the company that brought many of these technologies to the market. And the predictions AT&T made are all slightly askew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ads show people buying concert tickets from an ATM machine, making video calls from a pay phone and sending their beach messages through a fax. It was a vision of the future projected on the technological apparatuses of the early 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 1993 AT&T ads served as a starting point for a story KQED reporter Peter Jon Shuler was working on at the time. His piece was about how emerging technological innovations were shaping work and allowing people to work anytime, anywhere. “Telecommuting” was the buzzword back then. Shuler’s story was part of a five-part series about the emerging “virtual world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shuler introduces his story with AT&T’s promise that one day we would “fax from the beach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The implied promise is that the new technology will free us from the bounds that constrain us,” Shuler wrote. “Lock the doors and head for the beach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That line has more than a tinge of sarcasm in the radio story. You can tell he was far from convinced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shuler said that back then he felt like emerging technologies were creating an environment where everyone, including him, was expected to do more — to always be on and available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was feeling harried and miserable and overworked and stressed, and so I started to explore this topic,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Old and the New\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a newly hired Silicon Valley reporter at KQED, one of my goals is to give some perspective on how internet companies here are shaping the region and our society at large. To do that, I wanted to get some perspective on what things were like here in the early days of the internet. I immediately searched for Shuler, who has been reporting on the Valley for more than 25 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shuler directed me to a digitized archive where he’d uploaded some of the stories he produced as the internet was just beginning to take off. I asked him what it was like to listen to those pieces today, and Shuler said he was struck by how optimistic and generally uncritical he and others seemed of the “brave new world of new technology” emerging around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11665510\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11665510\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Stanford-Protest_preview-e1525199490391.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1304\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A young Peter Jon Shuler interviews a protestor on the Stanford campus back in the 1990s. \u003ccite>(Paul Sakuma)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That is not the case with the stories Shuler produced for KQED’s series on “virtual worlds,” particularly the one about technology and work. That piece has holds even more resonance today. “Everything the sources said in the piece was true then,” Shuler said, “and it is even more true now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been 25 years since Shuler filed his story, which he titled “Techno Slaves.” As part of a new series that examines our current relationship with technology, we decided to take a look back at Shuler’s reporting and check in with those people he interviewed a quarter century ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pondering the Digital Chain\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first person I got in touch with from Shuler’s story was Maureen Glancy. At the time Shuler interviewed her, she was a professor at San Jose State University. Back then, Glancy described feeling terrorized by all the little flashing red lights on her new office phone messaging system. Each one was a voicemail that she would be forced to deal with. Today, Glancy has retired from SJSU and gone on to teach children and adults how to make Renaissance-period handicrafts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you can probably deduce from her hobby choice, Glancy isn’t impressed by the track technology has taken over the years. She told me that because of smartphones, we are always available, always on call. She said “the chain” is never unbroken. The chain. That’s the same metaphor Shuler used in his story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We find ourselves encumbered by a ponderous digital chain that binds us to the workplace wherever we go,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glancy told me that if she closes her eyes, she can still see those little, red lights blinking away on her office answering machine, each one a task demanding her attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second source in Shuler’s story is a man named Jeff Johnson, who was described as a computer interface expert and chairman of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. Johnson, like many of the sources in the story, was worried that emerging technology was not giving us more free time, but just increasing the expectation that we get more done faster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson now teachers computer science at the University of San Francisco. When I played the old story for him, he laughed. “We were savvy in a way at that time, but still kind of naive,” Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the mid-1990s, Johnson’s big worry was that major companies would take over the internet and turn it into an information network predicated on shoving ads at people and encouraging them to buy everything online. Johnson wrote about these fears in an article titled “\u003ca href=\"http://cpsr.org/prevsite/program/nii/hell.html/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Information Highway From Hell: A Worst Case Scenario\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a live scene with some of the newest gadgetry on display, Shuler visited the office of a Dan Shafer, a “power user” of the latest technologies. Shafer had such cutting-edge technology as a Mac Quadra and a “cellular” phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Shuler interviewed him in 1993, Shafer continued to write about technology, but he also became the “spiritual teacher in residence” at Unity Monterey Bay. I found Shafer’s Facebook page, which was still up even though Shafer had passed away about a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through Shafer’s old church, I got in touch with his widow, who was pleased and shocked I had tracked her down. She thanked me for calling and asked me to send Shuler’s story so she could hear her deceased husband’s voice. This doesn’t have anything to do with the story, but it was a touching reminder of the power of audio to preserve a moment, or in this case, a person in time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Deus Ex Machina\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last source in Shuler’s story is Paul Saffo. He was, and still is, a “technology forecaster.” He’s a professor at Stanford University School of Engineering. Back then, Saffo was skeptical about some of the utopian promises being attached to the internet and computing, especially as it related to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The danger is that we will allow the anytime, anyplace office to become the every time, everyplace office,” Saffo told Shuler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I spoke with Saffo, he described the ’90s as a period of unbridled optimism about technology. But he wasn’t surprised by the sentiment. He said it followed a typical pattern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When new technology arrives, inevitably we approach it with naive optimism,” Saffo said. “It is going to be the thing that solves all of our problems, cures the common cold and brings in world peace. That’s exactly how everybody looked at the worldwide web and what we now call social media.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saffo still has an admiration of computers and the internet. He fondly recalls his college days of playing on Harvard’s big mainframe computer and hacking telephones or “phone freaking.” But unlike 1993, Saffo says it is now far less fashionable to be so optimistic about technology. He believes we need to be wary of the dangers of our digital creations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As Heraclitus put it so nicely a couple of millennia ago, nothing new comes into our lives without a hidden curse,” Saffo said. “And the more powerful the thing is, the more subtle the curse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last 25 years, we have unleashed things far more powerful than a fax machine you can take to the beach, a pay phone with a video screen or an ATM where you can buy concert tickets. By Heraclitus’s logic, the curses today will be far more subtle than those of Shuler’s time.\u003c/p>\n\n",

His piece was about how emerging technological innovations were shaping work and allowing people to work anytime, anywhere. “Telecommuting” was the buzzword back then. Shuler’s story was part of a five-part series about the emerging “virtual world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shuler introduces his story with AT&T’s promise that one day we would “fax from the beach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The implied promise is that the new technology will free us from the bounds that constrain us,” Shuler wrote. “Lock the doors and head for the beach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That line has more than a tinge of sarcasm in the radio story. You can tell he was far from convinced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shuler said that back then he felt like emerging technologies were creating an environment where everyone, including him, was expected to do more — to always be on and available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was feeling harried and miserable and overworked and stressed, and so I started to explore this topic,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Old and the New\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a newly hired Silicon Valley reporter at KQED, one of my goals is to give some perspective on how internet companies here are shaping the region and our society at large. To do that, I wanted to get some perspective on what things were like here in the early days of the internet. I immediately searched for Shuler, who has been reporting on the Valley for more than 25 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shuler directed me to a digitized archive where he’d uploaded some of the stories he produced as the internet was just beginning to take off. I asked him what it was like to listen to those pieces today, and Shuler said he was struck by how optimistic and generally uncritical he and others seemed of the “brave new world of new technology” emerging around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11665510\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11665510\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/Stanford-Protest_preview-e1525199490391.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1304\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A young Peter Jon Shuler interviews a protestor on the Stanford campus back in the 1990s. \u003ccite>(Paul Sakuma)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That is not the case with the stories Shuler produced for KQED’s series on “virtual worlds,” particularly the one about technology and work. That piece has holds even more resonance today. “Everything the sources said in the piece was true then,” Shuler said, “and it is even more true now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been 25 years since Shuler filed his story, which he titled “Techno Slaves.” As part of a new series that examines our current relationship with technology, we decided to take a look back at Shuler’s reporting and check in with those people he interviewed a quarter century ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pondering the Digital Chain\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first person I got in touch with from Shuler’s story was Maureen Glancy. At the time Shuler interviewed her, she was a professor at San Jose State University. Back then, Glancy described feeling terrorized by all the little flashing red lights on her new office phone messaging system. Each one was a voicemail that she would be forced to deal with. Today, Glancy has retired from SJSU and gone on to teach children and adults how to make Renaissance-period handicrafts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you can probably deduce from her hobby choice, Glancy isn’t impressed by the track technology has taken over the years. She told me that because of smartphones, we are always available, always on call. She said “the chain” is never unbroken. The chain. That’s the same metaphor Shuler used in his story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We find ourselves encumbered by a ponderous digital chain that binds us to the workplace wherever we go,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glancy told me that if she closes her eyes, she can still see those little, red lights blinking away on her office answering machine, each one a task demanding her attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second source in Shuler’s story is a man named Jeff Johnson, who was described as a computer interface expert and chairman of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. Johnson, like many of the sources in the story, was worried that emerging technology was not giving us more free time, but just increasing the expectation that we get more done faster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson now teachers computer science at the University of San Francisco. When I played the old story for him, he laughed. “We were savvy in a way at that time, but still kind of naive,” Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the mid-1990s, Johnson’s big worry was that major companies would take over the internet and turn it into an information network predicated on shoving ads at people and encouraging them to buy everything online. Johnson wrote about these fears in an article titled “\u003ca href=\"http://cpsr.org/prevsite/program/nii/hell.html/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Information Highway From Hell: A Worst Case Scenario\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a live scene with some of the newest gadgetry on display, Shuler visited the office of a Dan Shafer, a “power user” of the latest technologies. Shafer had such cutting-edge technology as a Mac Quadra and a “cellular” phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Shuler interviewed him in 1993, Shafer continued to write about technology, but he also became the “spiritual teacher in residence” at Unity Monterey Bay. I found Shafer’s Facebook page, which was still up even though Shafer had passed away about a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through Shafer’s old church, I got in touch with his widow, who was pleased and shocked I had tracked her down. She thanked me for calling and asked me to send Shuler’s story so she could hear her deceased husband’s voice. This doesn’t have anything to do with the story, but it was a touching reminder of the power of audio to preserve a moment, or in this case, a person in time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Deus Ex Machina\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last source in Shuler’s story is Paul Saffo. He was, and still is, a “technology forecaster.” He’s a professor at Stanford University School of Engineering. Back then, Saffo was skeptical about some of the utopian promises being attached to the internet and computing, especially as it related to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The danger is that we will allow the anytime, anyplace office to become the every time, everyplace office,” Saffo told Shuler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I spoke with Saffo, he described the ’90s as a period of unbridled optimism about technology. But he wasn’t surprised by the sentiment. He said it followed a typical pattern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When new technology arrives, inevitably we approach it with naive optimism,” Saffo said. “It is going to be the thing that solves all of our problems, cures the common cold and brings in world peace. That’s exactly how everybody looked at the worldwide web and what we now call social media.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saffo still has an admiration of computers and the internet. He fondly recalls his college days of playing on Harvard’s big mainframe computer and hacking telephones or “phone freaking.” But unlike 1993, Saffo says it is now far less fashionable to be so optimistic about technology. He believes we need to be wary of the dangers of our digital creations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As Heraclitus put it so nicely a couple of millennia ago, nothing new comes into our lives without a hidden curse,” Saffo said. “And the more powerful the thing is, the more subtle the curse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He announced new software features including 3D filters for Messenger and Instagram posts. The filters, popularized by Facebook competitor Snap, allow users to overlay augmented reality objects like mustaches or hats onto their face when they upload videos and images. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg also announced new virtual reality hardware in the form of Facebook’s Oculus Go headset.

New video chats will allow Instagram users to connect one-on-one or in groups for real-time video conferencing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And additional stories integrations will make it easier for third-party services to reach users on Instagram. Spotify, for example, will let users link directly to songs in their Instagram stories. Previously, users had to screenshot what they were listening to and then upload the image to Instagram. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Facebook App\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg also revealed new tweaks to the core Facebook app. The adjustments are a part of his vision for a more “active” Facebook, where users interact and engage with one another instead of simply passively watching or clicking through content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CEO spent a large part of the keynote discussing Facebook Groups, which will now have their own tab front-and-center in the Facebook app. He said he sees Groups as essential to Facebook’s vision and wants to empower Group leaders with tools to more effectively lead their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other changes include an improved “Safety Check” feature and a system for organizing blood donation. Safety Check allows users to notify friends that they are safe in crisis situations from terrorist attacks to hurricanes. And the blood donation feature will function as a hub to facilitate interactions between organizations and potential donors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

The filters, popularized by Facebook competitor Snap, allow users to overlay augmented reality objects like mustaches or hats onto their face when they upload videos and images. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg also announced new virtual reality hardware in the form of Facebook’s Oculus Go headset. While the $200 headset has been in the works for a while, it was not available for purchase until Tuesday. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Instagram\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Instagram, which Facebook purchased in 2012 for $1 billion, will see additional features and integrations. New video chats will allow Instagram users to connect one-on-one or in groups for real-time video conferencing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And additional stories integrations will make it easier for third-party services to reach users on Instagram. Spotify, for example, will let users link directly to songs in their Instagram stories. Previously, users had to screenshot what they were listening to and then upload the image to Instagram. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Facebook App\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg also revealed new tweaks to the core Facebook app. The adjustments are a part of his vision for a more “active” Facebook, where users interact and engage with one another instead of simply passively watching or clicking through content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CEO spent a large part of the keynote discussing Facebook Groups, which will now have their own tab front-and-center in the Facebook app. He said he sees Groups as essential to Facebook’s vision and wants to empower Group leaders with tools to more effectively lead their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other changes include an improved “Safety Check” feature and a system for organizing blood donation. Safety Check allows users to notify friends that they are safe in crisis situations from terrorist attacks to hurricanes. And the blood donation feature will function as a hub to facilitate interactions between organizations and potential donors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Sometimes it’s random strangers on the internet and other times it’s actually my friends. I tend to be at the receiving end of a lot of toxic nature, and it’s not too fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He adds: “It gets to a point where you just get so used to the toxic behavior on League that you get used to it, and now whenever someone insults me, I either just ignore it or I just turn off all chat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite how toxic League of Legends can be, it’s still a great game to play with friends, and at certain times be toxic yourself.
