INTRODUCTION TO THE DIAGRAMS The purpose of the analysis section is to allow the viewer to take a step back and have a closer look about what technology means, how the technology utilizes the interface in which it is conducted, and to hypothesize about the implications about what they have just seen. The narrative scenarios have been created with the intention of conceptualizing the issues of interface and interactivity. In addition, analysis can be a useful tool because it allows the user to deconstruct the scenarios and reconstruct them from a different critical point of view.

INTRODUCTION: IDENTITY AND INFORMATION
Each sphere of personal information contains data about ourself.
In the innermost core is data that defines our sense of self.
In the middle region is data that we would rather keep private.
In the outermost region is data that we divulge on a daily basis.
In order to assess information control issues, we must first know who has power as a result of that control of the information that the user has exposed and what happens to the information once the user has allowed him/herself to partake in the interactions. +

In addressing identity, information, and control issues, the following are issues of concern:
1. How does the interface user relate to the events taking place?
2. What information must the user expose to complete the interaction?
3. Who has power as a result of the information the user has exposed?
4. What happens to this information?
5. Is the user experiencing an alternative reality through the interaction?
6. What happens to the user's sense of self?

INTRODUCTION: INTERFACE/INTERACTIVITY
The interaction itself exists in a realm with its own advantages, disadvantages, and constraints brought upon by the design of the interface itself. In this manner, the user, the designer of the interface, and the interplay of the user with data and information are all involved in a complex relationship.+

In addressing interface and interactivity issues, the following are issues of concern:
1. How does an interaction helping or hindering the user?
2. What constraints are placed on the user by the design of the interface?
3. What constraints are placed on the design of the interface by government, industry, or the technology chosen.
4. What access does the user have to data and information as a result of the interface design.

INTRODUCTION: IMPLICATIONS
Technologies often have significant implications for the future of our society and culture, but the consequences of these impacts are rarely thought out before the technology is developed. However, the advantages gained by the user often outweigh the disadvantages. A forecast of the future stands on the shoulders of what has been presented to see out and over the horizon and to shed light on the future of technology.+

In addressing the implications of a technology, the following are issues of concern:
1. What are the social and cultural implications of the technology?
2. What are the consequences, positive and negative, for the user, the interface designers, and others involved in the interactions.
3. What is the next step beyond this technology?
