Towards a Design Philosophy for Everyday Computational Things
نویسنده
چکیده
Everyday things are the things we live with. They are the building blocks of our lifeworlds. Many everyday things are not specifically for work or leisure, as they transcend the borders of many activities. Consider, for instance, the use of telephones: we use them at work to coordinate and communicate, but we also use them to talk to friends and familiy. In the case of mobile phones, this is even more evident as we carry the very same device with us, independent of whether we are working, spending time with friends, travelling, etc. As the mobile phone has entered our everyday life, it has also become a personal object that we use to express who we are, our lifestyle, etc. (cf. [50, 79, 82]).
