Some interesting stuff about calm technology. Smart designers are beginning to realize that the cacophony of noise and disruption caused by technologies is not the way to go. We are heading for a dystopia of increased friction and annoyance caused by our devices. Calm technology designers believe technology should not require all of our attention, nor should they require it constantly.
Smart calm technology is something like the old whistling kettle. It only called for your attention when it was ready to deliver what you wanted - boiling water.
Thus a little technology goes a long way.
Designing calm technology:
1. a technology should inform and encalm - we should not have to expend needless mental cost in interacting with devices
2. Human should not have to act like machines
3. the design should amplify the best part of us as human and the device as technology
