Abstract:
In 1969 Herbert Simon put forward the idea that: "in an information rich world, the scarce resource is [human] attention." Today this would seem to be increasingly true. This talk will suggest that a number of the important challenges for modern interactive computing - including goals we describe as "invisible", "ambient", "pervasive", "ubiquitous" or even "calm" - are fruitfully considered in these terms. I will suggest that traction can be gained by focusing on human attention as an organizing paradigm, describe some specific approaches to building systems in this light, and consider where the most fruitful research challenges for future work in this area may lie.
