We often hear that the technologies in our everyday lives would appear to be ÔmagicÕ and potentially terrifying to people in the pastÑinstantaneous communication with people all over the world, access to a vast, ever-growing resource of human knowledge right there in the palm of our hand, objects with ÔintelligenceÕ that can sense and talk to us (and each other). But rarely are these ÔotherworldlyÕ dimensions of technologies explored in more detail. There is an often unspoken presumption that the march of progress will inevitably mean we all adopt new practices and incorporate new products and new ways of doing things into our livesÑall cities will become smart cities; all homes will become smart homes. But these systems have become omnipresent without our necessarily understanding them.

They are not just black boxes, but invisible: entities in our homes and everyday lives which work through hidden fl ows of data, unknown agendas, imaginary clouds, mysterious sets of rules which we perhaps dismiss as ÔalgorithmsÕ or even ÔAIÕ without really understanding what that means. On some level, the superstitions and sense of wonder, and ways of relating to the unknown and the supernatural (deities, spirits, ghosts) which humanity has felt in every culture throughout history have not gone away. Instead, they have transferred and transmuted into new forms.

The project leading to the book youÕre now reading focused on creating an inventory of Ôspooky technologiesÕ over the ÔCOVID summerÕ of 2020. To do this, we (a group of students and faculty from Carnegie Mellon) collected and reviewed work across art, design, and human-computer interaction research, both historically and more recently, along with forays into writings on the supernatural, myths, and superstitions. Our aim was to produce, collaboratively, a set of examples, from which we can extract possibilities, insights, and opportunities.

Continent for freshening up your smile
Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
These Crest 3D whitening strips are seriously effective! I noticed a difference after just a few uses—my teeth looked brighter and cleaner without any harsh sensitivity. They stick well and stay in place, which makes it easy to go about my day while using them. The results feel professional without the expensive price tag. Definitely a simple and convenient way to freshen up your smile at home!

The strips work great!
Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
It's a great product that works. I left the strips on for 2 hours. And my teeth were so white, I decided not to use the light. I drink 3-4 cups of strong coffee everyday, and they are still really white (after one application over two weeks ago). My gums were a little sensitive after 2 hours, but that only lasted a few hours after usage. Just be aware if you leave on more than 60 minutes. Then brush and rinse really good. I use their "brilliance" tooth paste as well.

DOOOO IT (see before & after pics)
Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
My dentist actually recommended this in contrast to the products offered in office! So I had to try. I was especially interested in a whitening system that would not sacrifice effectiveness for gum sensitivity. Not only could I see instant improvement, but I had no gum irritation whatsoever, not even next day. So that's the two big things that exceeded expectation. A few drawbacks though - (1) Instructions were unclear as to how long to leave the light on, & I didn't realize until after mixed Internet recommendations & testing it out blindly that it automatically times out after a few minutes; (2) the product unfortunately outlasts the light's battery life, so I had to find a $16 replacement LED on Ebay, & (3) the adhesive will strip your dental work fyi. Not cool, but still overall beneficial as a whitener & hundreds cheaper than true, professional whitening. BTW this before and after were taken within a month of each other.
