New technologies (especially those that enable new, visible behaviors) are often met with distrust
Society sanctions people who violate these norms

Thinking someone is weird or a jerk is a manifestation of the norms of ones society. What is weird in one age may eventually become normal over time.

Pop culture is a rich source of information that can often be crucial for our work. When the public begins to compare and contrast the voting for American Idol with voting for the American president, thats something we want to pay attention to. Dismissing this cultural data by sniffing I dont watch American Idol isnt a relevant response.

Understanding culture is essential if we want to use the information weve gathered to do more than solve known pain points.

To start a culture change we need to do two simple things: 1. Do dramatic story-worthy things that represent the culture we want to create. Then let other people tell stories about it. 2. Find other people who do story-worthy things that represent the culture we want to create. Then tell stories about them. We can change our stories and be changed by them.
