"[Eight] Principles of #CalmTechnology"

"There is no less technology…in a comfortable pair of shoes…than in a PC. Why is one often enraging, others frequently encalming?…A #CalmTechnology will move easily from the periphery of our attention, to the center, and back."
—Mark Weiser, John Seely Brown. “Designing Calm Technology”, 1995.

Yesterday the grid paid me to run the dishwasher. Electricity was -1.1p/kWh at half past two.

摘自平靜科技，圖是Harald Mante的作品

「科技需強化最佳的科技特性和最佳的人性…另一方面，最佳的科技可以去強化機械與人類雙方最佳的那部分。

它永遠不會搞混兩者的角色，或是忘記誰是誰。

所有的科技在某個程度上來說都是由人類設計的。

我們有責任將科技變得不僅是更有效率，且更能接受使用者屬於人性的那部分。

一個人的主要任務不應是電腦運算，而是人該做的事：

尋找食物、樂趣、與社會連結…人類是問題的解決者，但我們也會感到痛苦、愛與友誼、忌妒、恐懼、幸福感與愉悅。

我們在完成某項任務時會有成就感，渴求認同感。」
