Guilty of things like grand theft, murder, rape, child abuse…

What is their reactions when being told point blank “our inestigation shows clearly that you did this”?

“It does?!” “I did?!”

The phony-ness of the surprise demonstrated by nearly most guilty people is staggering! As well as that as a rule they also shift their weight, look away, smirk, and try to cover that smirk.

It just can’t be controlled, if you are lying or omitting facts it will show!

This is by far one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken. Not only is this helpful for my work, but in the real world too! Just observing people this week I have seen them demonstrating many of the same ‘tells’ in everyday conversation. Things like breaking gaze to the right indicating editing or fabrication of what they are saying.

When that guy told me that was the lowest he could go on that car, was it?

Next time you ask someone a serious question see if they look you in the eye, or break right.

Searching “Reid” on amazon will show you some books on this topic. Here is one we are using.

The first generation of “digital natives” – children who were born into and raised in the digital world – are coming of age, and soon our world will be reshaped in their image. Our economy, our cultural life, even the shape of our family life will be forever transformed.

But who are these digital natives? How are they different from older generations – or “digital immigrants” – and what is the world they’re creating going to look like? In Born Digital, leading internet and technology experts John Palfrey and Urs Gasser offer a sociological portrait of this exotic tribe of young people who can seem, even to those merely a generation older, both extraordinarily sophisticated and strangely narrow.

Based on original research, Born Digital explores a broad range of issues, from the highly philosophical to the purely practical: What does identity mean for young people who have dozens of online profiles and avatars? Should we worry about privacy issues – or is privacy even a relevant concern for digital natives? How does the concept of safety translate into an increasingly virtual world? Is “stranger-danger” a real problem, or a red herring? What lies ahead – socially, professionally, and psychologically – for this generation?

A smart, practical guide to a brave new world and its complex inhabitants, Born Digital will be essential reading for parents, teachers, and the myriad of confused adults who want to understand the digital present – and shape the digital future.
