Designing clam technology - Coggle Diagram
Designing clam technology
in 2020, 20 billions devices are connected to the internet
More devices than people
Example: Smart watch
Lots of alerts
Not lots of relevancy
Smart fridge
Why add machine vision to something people can tell with their naked eye ?
People buy simplicity
Simplicity is nuanced, should not take all of our attention to solve a problem
Adding intelligence into everything is not necessarily a good thing
Things should work even when they fail
Tehcnology using Chronos time VS Humans using Kairos time
Chronos time is precise time, hours and minutes
Kairos time is emotion related to a specific time (sunset etc..)
Technology should use more Kairos time
Calm tech researchers
John Seely Brown
Mark Weiser
Said in the future that the scarce ressource will not be technology but attention.
How to design calm technology
Technology should require them inimum amount of attention
User is always in control
Inform and enclam
Empower the periphery (Other senses)
Try to feel information rather than reading it
Technology should amplify the best of humans and machines
Stop trying to make machines behave like humans
Humans should not behave like machine
People do not like to TALK to a machine
Technology can communicate without speaking
Technology should always give the minimum information needed to solve a problem or complete a task
Example : Google
Google helps you solve a problem but you got to ask a question first.
Working alongside the user
The user has free choice
8 principles of calm technology
Technology should amplify the best of technology and the best of humanity
Technology can communicate, but doesn’t need to speak
Technology should make use of the periphery
Technology should work even when it fails
Technology should inform and create calm
The right amount of technology is the minimum needed to solve the problem
Technology should require the smallest possible amount of attention
Technology should respect social norms
