__ Memo 35 -- Broad Impact. __ No framing/template found for this one. I assume it's a re-hash of info already discussed in the Proposal, however?

Well, I've got some preliminary thoughts on that; - raise awareness of "technosocial somnambulism" - encourage more "physical embodiments" and "personal" interactions for peer-to-peer connections, - encourage 'virtual' self within APPROPRIATE DOMAINS (possible outcome; research may show that 'virtual' selves have a use for distance communication or propaganda) - inform policy on public display, use, and opinion of smartphones - inform public and market opinion on advised uses of smart phones (space intentional) - ... That's it for now. Of course I'd love to have the reader have an, "oh crap I'm guilty of that too" reaction, as I think all social discussions should end in a personal re-evaluation.
