weAgree

Web presence in combination with continually updated location based data is playing a larger role in our social interactions. WeAgree takes part in this development by funneling the information to an intelligible form and proposing ways to support the negotiations that have significant impact on social relationships between teenagers and parents. It is an application that is intended to enhance the communication between teenagers and adults. In a greater sense it serves as an approach towards addressing challenges where the need for surveillance is at ends with privacy requirements.

The relationship between parents and teenagers may sometimes be constrained and put under even more stress as the child becomes physically more mobile. WeAgree has as a mobile and web application an objective to aid the negotiations that occur between teenagers and parents. Through the web interface, parents are given an opportunity to also communicate with other parents whose children are in the same area as their own.

This new concept allows for negotiations with which both parents and teenagers are content. By allowing a flow of messages that are depersonlised and based on a mutual agreement between parent and child, the system may move a possible conflict from a telephone conversation to a place where both child and parent are physically present.
