In this position paper we consider the ways in which users can be given control over technology and information, considering the spectrum of design possibilities from 'generative component' solutions, to 'appliance' solutions. We show how security concerns and the processes of user centered design tend to encourage a migration towards the appliance end of the spectrum and then describe problems that arise from this. We then suggest an alternative route towards allowing users more direct control over their information via end user programming, discuss some of the challenges in doing so and how they might be overcome and conclude with a suggestion of a practical first step that system designers might consider.
