Kwame, Fjord...
Designing for People (not devices)
In these slides I may not have credited a couple of pictures... apologies. Also, I am not present to whisper in your year the thoughts behind them, so it’s fine to feel lost...

Fire...Fire...

Fire...
“Yes, I was at that fire, it was lacking wood...”
with mobile phones each one of us has a fire, and we take it everywhere
AdrianIbrahim
Geek. Has a myspace page where he has 1200 friends. Jerks off 3 times a day, and has 6 real friends.
Shepherd. Goes to the market on sundays. Everyone knows him as “Ibrahim the son of the goat herder who looks like a bull”.
First web equates to first wave of SN:
News groups, Message boards...people gathered around specific topics.
just like gathering around fires, or going to the pub...
History of the web... mention Cluentrain...
Oh Shit, we’re connected. Let’s go crazy!!!!!!!!!!!! But let’s do it sitting down...
“Hey, somebody connected all these people and now they are going crazy. What can we do?”
“Well, we can start by telling them they are connected.”
First consolidated SNSs
Adrian joins Friendster and Orkut and Hi5... and makes two new real friends...
Ibrahim is on a boat to
How is Ibrahim doing?
...with his mobile social network
You are reminded that you can make Friends through your Friends. Ads become more selective.
2nd wave of SNS:
Introduction of tools and intelligence to make the ‘connected experience more meaningful’
3rd wave of SNS:
media type and service cross-pollination, updates, tools
difference between romanic churches and gothic churches
Adrian is growing and consolidating his network.Some of his mySpace friends become part of is phone’s address book. migration is vital
Ibrahim meets people on the ‘street’ and they become part of his phone’s address book. migration is vital
The real mobile SN is here:
For both Adrian and Ibrahim
It cannot be imagined. It’s real...
Adrian gets lucky a few times (learns how to spot the single amongst his friends) and learns how to master his SN. He eventually discovers linkedIN and gets a job...
It’s only natural that Mobile Social Networks become a direct translation of existing online SNs. After all they’ve worked for Adrian, there’s a business logic in place...
...not good enough though.
Rewind <<
Print: great to take along, but no sound...
Radio: great, and you can move about, and there are tribes... but no pictures.
TV: magic, but you have to consume it sitting down. It demands all your attention.
Networked Computer: you can talk and lose yourself in the web... but you must do it sitting down.
Cell-phone: you can talk and text everywhere and it wakes you up in the morning.

Do you want a phone you can take with you everywhere?No one asked me. Still here it is and it changed my world.
Do you want a computer you can take with you everywhere? How is it going to change my world?
The question no one asked:
The question now is:
I go outside
We can start to think like Adrian or like Ibrahim
Rely on web based social networks
Rely on bodies
The suckers want us to sit down...
which are inherently mobile
There is a great probability that Jessica had sex with John last night.
James just shared two pictures he took with his MC. He probably thinks he is a good photographer.
Annie is within physical reach of you. This your chance to mate.
I want my mobile to make sense of my data/world
position me
Killer app for Adrian:
crossing web and mobile data
Well, everything will start to be more emotional. Why?
think bodies.the 1000 we cross everydaythe ones that make us laugh
Now if we start to think more like Ibrahim
A little bit of my story
Faceted ID > creating a profile > performing
talk about Danah’s work
reducing digital complexity may also reduce... humanity.

these guys have an augmented ID, I wish I had had one
Ibrahim rolls into town
Wow! Look at all these fires...
Ibrahim thinks to himself: shit everyone’s got a fire...

Normal spider web
We’ve spun a web above us, around us. It’s part of the city, it is the city.
Communication codes have to be standardized and messages simplified in a way to be compatible with conditions of movement and/or wide and variable spatial dispersion.
Whole collectivities move together, so that intragroup communication can be maintained [touch]
Communication used to be limited to the rather rare occasions when populations are densely aggregated at specific locations.
text by Hans Geser
Digital living begins with physical living. This entails a shift in the roadmap... otherwise we will be porting MySpace and Facebook-like apps for phones and that’s that...
Adrian went on to do this... piece of s***t!

What is truly important and always present
We have routines that anchor our lives
We move between heterogeneous environments. Some of which are controlled by us, others not. [Habitat.]
Space of interaction is vast and unpredictable
Ibrahim has a new routine
When out on the street we have a purpose and it’s very difficult if not impossible to divert people from their purposes. Our lives are about routine behaviour and to do lists are not very flexible. On the move we have lines of flight to which we commit and from which we seldom move away from.

No reason why the Address book should not be an IM
People are not numbers
Gang member suspect gunned down by the police who then proceeded to smash his phone and retrieve the sim card in order to identify his contacts.

5 new computing paradigm drivers
The computing experience is becoming more fragmented, as such tasks are being polarised by the many devices we use. In all this, casual computing is taking its place in increasingly mobile lifestyles.
The disappearing computer
We used to call Places, then we called numbers and names next we will be connecting with people.
We will do so because people are starting to acquire more digital resolution (given by all the services they use) — intelligent digital traces.
[Connecting] People
Remember that the human being is very visual, and processes visual information superbly.
Visual DPN
The UI will be screen independent.
Context will be rendered continuously, positioning the user at all times in the experience.
Vertical lists... they will still exist but only as a way to represent information.
UI as a Service

Think terabytes, users will need immediate access to content.
