John MOK | Research Program
This is a space where I will share my research materials with close collaborators. This project studies how the Catholic Church survive under Xi Jinping's administration. Theoretically, it will contribute to the studies of resistance, social movements, church-state relations, authoritarian politics, and religion in general.
X10 Enters the Home
Developed in 1975, the X10 was the first electronic home automation protocol - a way for devices to talk to one another. It allowed for remote control of various devices, as well as automation of appliances such as lighting. For a paper discussing use of the X10 to comply with Sabbath Day obligations, see Woodruff, Augustin, & Foucault, 2007.Woodruff, Allison, Sally Augustin, and Brooke Foucault. 2007. “Sabbath Day Home Automation: ‘It’s Like Mixing Technology and Religion.’” In Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 527–536.
