Uh, I don't see that underrated is a weird thing to quantify It's probably the most disrespected But it's I don't think that's an intentional thing. I think that's just because Ice hockey can literally only be played in certain It's it's a lot harder to play ice hockey Like basketball is an indoor sport, but you can play basketball outdoors technically anytime of year South Florida got rinks everywhere It's also a lot more expensive to play though.  Yeah, it's way expensive to play hockey. It's like it's like golf They're all expensive But it's easier to borrow clubs and golf and stuff and rent stuff like that But like renting hockey pads does not happen.

So please welcome Michelle for her talk about the urban organism hacking in Hong Kong. So thank you for coming today. First of all, you could be anywhere right now and you all decide to come here. So I really appreciate it. This talk will engage the practices and protocols of hacking in the context of Hong Kong and the relationship of that with the socio-cultural aspects of architecture and urbanism. Well, why architecture and urbanism? But for a brief background, I'm trained as an architect, but after about 10 years of corporate architecture, I needed to kind of expand my tentacles. So now I build buildings to maintain that technical proficiency and I work in creative media, which allows me to have more instant gratification and a more personal contact with individual people. And I teach in the Faculty of Design Environment at a university in Hong Kong. So the metropolis I'm speaking of refers to Hong Kong, if it wasn't obvious already. It is a city of contradictions, a culture of pastiche of a colonial system, Chinese traditions and with globalized modernity. So if the city slogan, Asia's World City, it maintains itself as an entrepôt, or in other words, the intermediary between China and the rest of the world. So before, we were trading opium, tea, sugar, textiles, and which now has transitioned to focus more on the financial sector, so cocaine, insurance and stocks. For many of those just passing through Hong Kong, which is frequent and obvious for anyone coming over to Asia, there's several factors that make it such an exciting prospect. So the hyper-density here is always a fascination. This isn't super relevant, but the image on the left is from Leandro Erlich. It's called The Room. It's a surveillance camera. Many surveillance cameras on one room. And the other one, there's just a position with our typical facades in Hong Kong. So the exciting prospects. One is the proximity to Chinese manufacturers. So it's close enough where you can hop over to Shenzhen, so the manufacturer hub. For just a few hours, you can just take a day trip. So if we have a MOSFET emergency, you can run over there within an hour and grab everything you need and go back. But we're also just outside of a great firewall. We don't have any of those issues. Or not most. And it's culturally accessible. That's number two. You won't feel incredibly left out with no Chinese language skills. You will still be a little bit left out, but not completely. You can still function and operate there happily. And then three is the stimuli. As with any metropolis, there's a factor of hyperactivity that has this distinct sense of infinite possibilities. Anything can happen. And this is the difference that I feel most, because you can make anything happen there if you're just willing to pay a little bit. Sometimes it's not a lot of money. And I'll go into this detail later, actually. Excuse me. In this sociocultural cornucopia, what gives way to these contradictions and complexities is a notoriously wide income gap. The soaring cost of real estate and as well as the pressure towards commercialism. The more we raise ourselves into the clouds, exploring the limits of an upwards trajectory, it also creates wider separations from one another. And in that segregation, it creates uniformity. The defining characteristics of any post-modern city is how control is leveraged in the hands of the bureaucracy. Urban policy, especially in Hong Kong, is a stringent arrangement serving only the private and the powerful. And without going into the boring details, but for the most part, the applied label here is called crony capitalism. So technological changes in the quality of public space make it increasingly more evident that the urban realm is a temporary experience that is imploded by the changes in the social contract. The enjoyment of public space is normally governed by authority. Public transportation, parks, and even the most mundane section of the pavement sender the responsibility of an organization. In this respect, the city relinquishes itself as a home or a collective space, but rather a temporary flow of people, information, and commodities. So did you know the parks in Hong Kong is nothing like the parks in Germany? We have signs that say no smoking, no drinking, okay, fine. No busking, no bicycles, no skateboards, no hawking, so basically no fun. The pavements as well, if you've been to Hong Kong where you see in the video, where pavements are about 1.2 meters wide before you reach up with the facade of a building next to you, that's because they are keen on maximizing 100% site boundaries which reach up to there. That's why we're all closed in, and because the pavement in front of every building is typically owned by the business in front of it. So that is actually their section of the pavement, not yours, but it's theirs. So while each technological revolution allows us to offset mundane tasks, we've also been offsetting the responsibility of monitoring these machines to large-scale institutions. Technology has been an extension of ourselves for a long time, but very few pay mind of what part of us it amputates. The quote from Gary Tobes, where he writes about sugar, like candy, the sugar. It's a substance that causes pleasure with a price that is difficult to discern immediately and pain of full only years and or decades later. That's from the case against sugar 2016. And if we consider cities moving more into the virtual realm, into cyber-urbanism with smart technology, we're heading into a world that is shackled by algorithmic conformity. For one example, by mass implementation of self-driving cars. And within these networks of organized complexities, we were never meant to be in concrete boxes, hovering in the sky, hermetically sealed from one another. For thousands of years, our genetic programming had us living in tribes. And while the world seemed to shrink in distance with steam engines, airplanes, and the internet, the space with and between each other expanded even more. So machines replaced our fingers, and we no longer needed each other to meet our needs, but instead on a system. Hopefully I've set the stage now for this very dystopian Blade Runner view, Esk of the City. So a certain level of uniformity isn't evitable. And to me, uniformity is not so bad if we can translate this to cooperation. And to begin our detailed understanding of similarities before we implicate and find the changes within the cracks. We have this inherent quality in us as small children, with such joy in playing with switches and boxes, pushing buttons and identifying objects as mine and yours. But because of this innate desire to make changes to our environments and leave a mark in this world, so our ability to make collective, two images disappeared, sorry, so our ability to make collective and flexible cooperation in large numbers is our strength in this world. And I mean that's why we're all here in this amazing event built by so many hands that are sometimes organized and sometimes not. Together we're finding a balance between the ecological and the engineered, or the organic versus the designed. And to me, the metaphorical link between the city and hacker spaces also have something in common with termites, ants, birds, mussels and mold. It's the experimental harmonic composition that arises from spatial self-organization. So it shows something that's difficult to miss once you cross the path. It's a horde of termites animating a still branch, both building and destroying the physical environment at the same time. And I enjoy observing termites and ants for their emergent, complex, co-operative, yet primitive behavior. And so in this line of thinking, the macro and micro of our environments. And that is one of the aspects that draws me to hacker spaces because they too are part of this greater concept of collective distributed action. Although parcel to this very messy human factor called the hacker community. So dim sum labs. Hong Kong's first and only hacker space. They started off like most hacker spaces with a few people getting together in informal places to chat about all things geeky. And the official location was secured in 2011 with about 10 different co-founders in a commercial building in Sarawong, which is near the center. So it's super convenient for people to access but also means there's a scarcity of space. It's kind of a funny name. The red part means dim sum or dim sum, touch your heart, literally. But dim sum actually refers to a particular cuisine or an activity in Hong Kong that potentially spend hours nibbling on things in bamboo, steam or baskets and whatnot. And when lots of people join together, you have this very diverse opportunity to taste an experiment so many different things. It's cute, right? Oh, I lost another image. So it was the image of dim sum. And I'm going crazy now. Okay, so as I described earlier, our proximity to China because of our limited space, because of the context where money is king and we are fools in this court, it shapes the culture of our space in ways like affording ourselves really cheap equipment and components. For example, our laser cutter was 4,000 RMB, which is about 500 euro, and components, so it's about 1,000 resistors for half a euro. But instead we spend the rest of the money on rent instead. And also what changes the culture is this very transitional atmosphere to move on to their journeys, their hobbies, or their lifestyle. And in Hong Kong, like the rest of the world, outside of Germany, hacking has a very different connotation than we'd prefer. So as I define it, it is the intellectual activity of exploring an object system or protocol beyond its intended means. Of course, most people don't see it that way. Which is why... Oh, get out of here, termites. Which is why there is a book called The Field Guide to Hacking. It's a handshake, if you will, to the greater community. How can we encourage others to hack without showing them how? So the book contains a collection of projects in an instructable manner, sort of. Essays and snapshots of the activity in our nebulous community. And it's ordered into six sections, each prefaced by an essay by someone who can explain some peripheral topics of hacking. It begins with a forward by Mitch Altman. Because if you're going to talk about community, how can you not involve Mitch? And if anyone doesn't know who he is, he also yearly organizes a hackers trip to China. So many of you have come to visit Dim Sum Labs in Hong Kong, which is amazing. Some of the projects, we start off with something very simple, like a button badge that you can solder yourself with links to GitHub repository and all the components that you need to do it, and potentially teach you how to solder it. Some projects are a little more functional. This is the kilowatt counter that we have in our space, where we monitor the use of electricity in the space. And that also helps if someone has left the air con on and it's empty, so we know. Some of the projects are a little more polemic. This is Naomi Sexy Cyborg Wu. She's quite well known if you follow her on Twitter. And if you want to check her Twitter, you'll find out yourself.  So this is field by me and Savio. There's one here, which maybe I'll show you later if I have time. Mine is not very instructional, but I teach you how to hack it and how it works, which I suppose is more important. And then the essays not only provide respite from the sea of projects, but also a gesture for those who would like to know more about hacking, but perhaps not participate into it, participate in it physically. So this is when I write a little bit about urbanism and surveillance capitalism. This is from Dr. Daniel Howe, who teaches a class on hacktivism at the School of Creative Media in the City University, whose essay partners the relationship between artistic freedom and expression in Hong Kong. And Scott Edmonds, who founded the Bohemia Genome Project. He works on a different kind of code. It's a four letter code of DNA. And while cultivating a stronger relationship between locals and Hong Kong's history by way of citizen science. And on inclusivity, Sarah Fox writes about technology and recognition with respect to the feminist space. And then we round it all off with Louis Felipe Marillo, who writes about this from an anthropologist's perspective and empirically as a former member of Dimsum Labs. So I hope that throughout this talk and the book that it provides some insight into the backdrop of some of the issues that face Dimsum Labs every day. It's not the easiest task to have people on the other side of the world to have this empathetic sharing of our zeitgeist, but we try. So some of the things that have been asked to me is where can I find the book? So there's the website and there's the email. The next question is actually can I buy the book? Well, not really because I ran out. And because the publisher is called Dimsum Labs Press, which is just me. So if anyone knows a publisher, they would like to help me. Because right now I'm just printing it from Taobao. And if there's going to be another version, I kind of need more content. So if you want to be part of this and you're kind of part of the community, please let me know. Contact is there. So this is not really a conclusion, but I'm just going to assume it is. Hong Kong has become part of this geopolitical experiment. So we're on this precarious edge between maintaining its openness in the sense where individuals can maintain their cultural roots and our osmosis with Shenzhen or China, a city where it lives under the guise of China's rules and regulations, but as well as breaking beyond its limitations in the physical and the social sense. In Hong Kong, the type of travelers that I come across always have the same fascination towards the city. This kind of magical wonder as one travels up the escalator in the center of the city, leaning over the edge just to catch a glimpse of the sky as the towers are leaning towards each other. It's amazing on one hand because it's a massive scale of structures that we built with these comparatively tiny hands and similar with electronics and what not. We're encapsulating and embedding our perspectives within these artifacts that perpetuate around us. But I also see it as relinquishing our dominion. We are complicit to our own detriment by not really addressing who our environments belong to. So in all respects, the physical, the temporal, and digital strata that our streets are paved upon. That's it. So we now have time for Q&A's and I can see that we already have one question from microphone number two. Hello. So thank you for your talk. What would you say to a European who wants to live in Hong Kong? How do I get a visa and so on? I'm thinking of how to say this. Number one, you can just come. There's plenty of Europeans there. You can skip it and write in. Number two, there's, I'll just tell you, there's a way you can get your own visa because it's very easy to start a business in Hong Kong and then you can kind of hire yourself and give yourself a visa. Don't tell anyone I said that. Just between you and the internet. Speaking of internet, do we have any questions from the internet signal angels? No nods, no. So, there are still two microphones and we have time for questions. So please, if you have it, we have a question from microphone number one. Well, it's not a question. It's more, there is a publisher called the most large press and it's for geeky stuff. So if you want, well, looking for one, I would suggest that one. I did look at them. I haven't gotten that far yet because as I pointed out, I'm kind of doing everything myself. But if you know a contact. And microphone number two. Where do you see differences between Hong Kong and Europe? The fundamental activity of hacking, I think, is not that different. As in, we are all people trying to explore things. What cool thing can we come out of the stuff around us? The difference I find most is how we spend our time and how generous we are with ourselves. Because if you live in a very commercial city that is dominated by this mentality of finance and money and how do I pay rent and whatever, then your time becomes money. And you do feel, or you get the feeling that people don't want to extend so much because they're too busy with work. Or they have to go to dinner and then to basically volunteer in a space. And question from microphone number one. Hi, question. How famous are hacker communities in Hong Kong or the region in general? So if I would be looking for an alternative to the COWS Computer Congress here, what would I be looking for in Asia? If not Hong Kong and Singapore or Tokyo or Asia. Can you rephrase our question? My question is if I'm looking for a hacker event in Asia, what should I look for? Which city, what event? We don't have very many hacker events in Asia. There's some in Singapore and I suppose the Tokyo Maker Faire is pretty cool in terms of like artifacts and stuff. But we don't have as much of this community because hacking is very much so a western concept. And the way a lot of Asia if we include China and the rest of it it's not necessarily considered hacking. I mean if you understand the way Chinese do things, if we bring in the concept of Shanzai, they don't think that's hacking. That's kind of just part of the culture. That's what you do to make things work for yourself. So it's a little more dispersed and it's not that it's easy to find here. Shenzhen Maker Faire is also really cool. We have a question from number two. In here, how long do you reach out of that community? How do you reach beyond the hacker space from the university or from each other around the world? You mean reaching the community outside of the hacker space? So I'm hoping that's what the book accomplishes. Since I have pushed it through a non-profit architectural design non-profit. So that's reaching a different network. Unfortunately by doing that, and same with architects and education, hacking and hacker spaces is kind of this counterculture underground thing where it's cool now. So that's another thing I have to negotiate because I don't want it to be just a trend or a toy that someone says you're an alternative version of whatever. But more as a way of life, way of thinking type thing. We still have time for more questions and there is a question from microphone number two. Yeah, so I'm just wondering what the hacker space in Hong Kong is engaging anything politically and so just an example. If you say do you mean politically just directly against China and Hong Kong? Then I wouldn't say so much because the current member base is not very local and they have their own politics to establish. Although if you consider politics as in open source then there are people that do that. That's a very vague answer, I'm sorry. If the program just consists of people who really are from Hong Kong, I don't think hacking or learning about cooking is such a marginal thing. It seems that it's the trend is that a lot of rich Hong Kong parents they are very conservative with their kids into learning cooking and so maybe there is something that the space can look into. I agree with that idea but it's very big now to kids camps and coding and what not. Although I still believe that because you're introducing these kits to a child that you develop this and this is what happens that they still maintain that mindset and what I'm hoping is that they can change their thinking into what do I need this kit for when I can mix up all these other things that are outside of it. That idea is based on the educational system in Hong Kong as well where you know that it's mostly about regurgitation and less about critical thinking so that's what I'm kind of pushing them more towards in terms of actually doing it in education I try to do it with my students but I can really only do so much. Please don't be shy there is still time for questions and I'm quite sure that Michelle has more to offer you in terms of dialogue so get up behind the microphones if you have any questions and also do we have any questions from the internet? No questions from the internet. Michelle you brought along a thing that you have on the table do you want to share it with us? This is just in case I talked too fast or like didn't finish my presentation then I brought this thing so this is the book that I was talking about it's covered in stickers because it's my copy. So there's two pieces of copper on the front of the limited edition version I'm sorry you didn't get one the limited edition version and on the back there's supposed to be a PCB embedded into it so how it works is that as you draw a line with a graphite pencil connecting the two pieces of copper it changes the frequency of the sound that's coming out from the back PCB so then this version was turned into a through-hole mount version so it can be presented at Sonar Hong Kong so this is the through-hole version so I guess I'm just going to play with it for you and then you know they'll wind this up oh also this was built because the dim sum labs logo is a tasiu bow so a barbecue pork bun on a 555 IC timer so this whole thing is built based on that 555 just to be middle so this is volume then we can change the pitch and then the rate and then we have switches that can change it from a continuous manner to a step fashion yeah that's kind of it thank you very much Michelle and I think we should give Michelle another round of applause for an excellent presentation


This is my first time here at this conference so this has just been awesome so far and I'm super honored to present to you some of my thoughts on genealogy coming from being a high school history teacher. All right the various ways in which societies keep their genealogical records indicate certain narratives for that people. Genealogy like history has never been unbiased truth it is squeezed into the narrative that society wants to portray. As a history teacher I am not interested in the genealogical record but in how people record them. It is not simply a list of who was born when. Some records show matrilineal societies, kingly bloodlines, or ignore women all together as reflection of societal priorities. For Mormons genealogies began as dynastic polygamous families with one patriarch at the head. Later in our history we move towards one mother and one father as the rock upon which children and their married spouses could flourish and become the saviors by which to provide the gospel to the world of the living and the dead. Today with more transparency and accuracy than ever before genealogy can be a tool by which Mormonism is forced to include more and more complexity in the family dynamic. So what I want to do is talk about a few other ways that other peoples have framed genealogy and then talk about how Mormonism has changed how we've written our genealogy as a reflection of our priorities. So I'm very intrigued by tattooing as a form of genealogy. My father grew up in Hawaii and my children are Marshallese. They're from Micronesia. And genealogy in the islands was passed down through oral tradition and shown through tattoos. So this is Keone Nunez at the Pacific Art Expo Pacific Inc. and Art Expo in Lahaina in Maui. And he keeps this tradition alive for Hawaiians. Tattoos across Polynesia and Micronesia show others what people they belong to their genealogy their relation to any chieftains certain special feats or accomplishments and what elements of nature they draw strength from. In the ancient art of specifically Hawaiian tattooing the tattoo artist is the mediator for a profoundly spiritual experience connecting a person to their heritage in a way that is similar to a child receiving a patriarchal blessing about their spiritual heritage that may differ than that of their siblings. The Kuhuna the tattoo artist spends time before tattooing to mindfully contemplate and choose uniquely personal genealogical images to portray on the body of the person receiving. So there are specific prayers used on the tools to call the ancestors from beyond and he still continues this practice today. While the person is receiving the tattoo the sounds of tapping provide a rhythm by which those in the community feel inclined to speak on their responsibilities and inspirations. When the tattooing is finished it is said that ancestral relationships are strengthened and restored with the new generation bringing a flow of the balance of life into the community. The genealogy of pre-colonized Hawaii represented the polytheistic and animalistic beliefs where gods spirits and guardians lived all around rather than tattooing a specific genealogical tree people were in tune with nature their interest their ancestry and each other the process of preparing for a tattoo and enduring the pain of the process together as a community would form bonds between the tattooed the family the community nature and divinity tattooing reflected the importance of genealogy as a way to keep the balance of life on the island and to bond the community closer together. So this is kind of a brief genealogy of Queen Victoria which is going to show some different priorities. A genealogy of Queen Victoria shows the colonial priorities of European monarchs the divine right of kings and queens place royalty at the top with their children being married into royal houses across Europe for political harmony and colonization. The stability of the royal marriage was paramount as an example for society the royal children married into other royal families and that set the foundation of a European dynasty and an English model for the correct way of life. Official records then did not show illegitimate children such as the illegitimate child of Princess Louise the daughter of Victoria who was adopted by Queen Victoria's gynecologist. Genealogy was not about accuracy heaven knows royals were as regular as common folk when it came to affairs the purpose of genealogy was to uphold the ideal the ideal of family the ideal of morality and the god given right to rule and colonize we see a shadow of these ideals still today in the modern royal English family. In the scriptures there's the classic conundrum of Jesus's genealogy written by Matthew and Luke being different from one another not only is there a mismatch in grandfather but there is also a mismatch in genealogical length between the two accounts. There are various ways apologists for hundreds of years have explained the discrepancies perhaps Luke made a summarized version or Matthew was using Mary's genealogy or other hypotheses but the point of including the genealogy at all was to make an accurate record if it were an accurate record was not to make an accurate record sorry if it were an accurate record we would presumably see more similarities the purpose was to connect Jesus to the lineage of King David to fill fulfill prophecy in a very literal way after Jesus's death that the Messiah would come through David this would confirm the message to the Jews that Jesus was the prophesied Christ genealogy was then written to fulfill the prophecy in 2 Samuel 712. Chinese genealogy is intricate male dominated and essential for carrying out the rules associated with kinship it was tradition to record family members in a book though many were lost in the cultural revolution those that exist today can be thousands of years old it was also tradition to record only the males showing the patriarchal patrilineal and patrilocal preferences that still exist in China today the purpose of genealogy in China was to ensure family stability through kinship rules and to glorify one's own ancestral clan clans were responsible for record keeping and compiling a family history book to exaggerate and worship their ancestors it included histories origins stories rules poems and a detailed lineage of the clan with very few details on women or males that brought embarrassment to the name genealogy was the tool by which everyone knew their place in society in family and how to act accordingly to bring honor and glory to their clan so what does Mormon genealogy reveal about how we view our ancestors and what our priorities are first of all it depends on when at the beginning of Mormonism we have a genealogy of dynasties where the head of the family was literally a king or lord to god with a kingdom this figure by Orson Pratt illustrates early LDS genealogy the above diagram shows the order and unity of the kingdom of god the eternal father sits at the head crowned king of kings and lord of lords wherever the other lines meet there sits a king and a priest unto god bearing rule authority and dominion under the father he is one with the father because his kingdom is joined to his father's and becomes part of it combined with polygamy this doctrine created Mormon dynasties with leadership at the top each spouse added to the power of the kingdom of the head priesthood holding mail and early saints took these dynasties quite seriously in winter quarters Wilford Woodruff described that the people had split into tribes over the matter quote the president went to some pains to assure the people that the that being sealed to one's parents rather than to one of the apostles did not lower one at all the new revelation was seen as protecting the church from being divided into tribes and clans each man having his own following close quote the law of adoption also allowed lower men to be taken into the dynasty of prominent leaders through the law of adoption John D. Lee for example described himself as Brigham Young's son even though this was through sealing only quote I was adopted by Brigham Young as one of his sons and for many years I confess I looked upon him as an inspired and holy man close quote this was encouraged in the temple where men and women became kings and queens to a grand posterity through eternity linking polygamous progeny to the blessings of Abraham and internal increase as our beliefs surrounding polygamy changed our genealogy followed suit today LDS genealogy represents the desire for all people to be offered a place in the one true church it exists as a counter or a pressure valve to Mormon particularism in that the joining of the celestial family is a gift offered to all it has become such a priority that some question our emphasis in time and resources resources towards genealogy for those who are dead over the needs of the living but genealogy represents not only a desire to connect with one's past or keep a record but in Mormonism something much bigger it is the crux of the responsibility as keepers of the covenant as stewards of the world and ushers of the millennium in short genealogy today is a tool by which to display the Mormon vision as the gatekeepers to the kingdom of God it gives Mormons a sense of pride to provide genealogical records to the world as keepers of the keys genealogy combines the task of weaving the human family together a lofty goal with the ethnocentric pride that we are the weavers above all genealogy solidifies the faith claim that the LDS church is the one true church Henry B. Eyring speaks of genealogy this way this is the one this is the true church the only true church because in it are the keys of the priesthood blah blah blah as you go to the house of the lord to offer them ordinances you sustain this great work whose purpose is to offer salvation to all of heavenly father's children which in essence makes us saviors thus it is not only learning the stories of our father and mother fathers and mothers that draw us to genealogy genealogy is the way by which Mormons become saviors and bring the entire world past and present into the small fold that we inhabit the future of genealogy with greater technology is the potential for our first time in history to truly record the messiness of what families are in the past one could create family lines for a purpose or with a bias leaving out parts of the family that do not fit the narrative today you simply cannot on the record ignore a child because they were born out of wedlock or were adopted by gay parents or were transgender or left the faith this means new ways of organizing families and showing connections will have to evolve with the times with families looking more like thought webs with one person in the middle connected in a plurality of ways rather than a clear cut linear line perhaps this will help doctrine shift towards heaven as community over heaven as one man and one woman with their neatly organized extended family technology here can only aid in transparency and genealogical transparency can only aid in expanding the definition of marriage family and children to what exists in the real world this has already started just in the addition of being able to add homosexual marriages to family search which will start this year while the church narrative certainly does not accept homosexual marriages genealogical records are already one step ahead it will be continually more difficult to maintain a victorian style view of the perfect family with accurate record keeping because transparency shatters the myth that society can only function if all marriage is between one heteronormative heteronormative man and woman with their biological children this cannot be maintained in light of data on paper that shows otherwise the data will eventually have to show divorced children born outside of marriage adoptions sex changes gay partnerships non-monogamous relationships partners who do not marry guardianships and the whole mess of the human spectrum of relationships Mormon genealogy is on a trajectory from dynasty to community whereas today we exist in a transitory middle technology can only by its very by its very nature providing ease of transparency force the movement towards more flexible and communal ways of describing what can make a family as we develop more technologically advanced ways of record keeping our genealogy our genealogy itself can become a driving force for real theological shifts our first large change in genealogy occurred as a theological and practical change to end polygamy perhaps this time technology will actually move so much faster than our theology that genealogy will change first and theology second thank you
