Do you miss the feeling of touch buttons on your kitchen appliances or the insistence of lamenting car manufacturers on touch screens? Have you ever found yourself decomposing into a doors handles in a vehicle or dispersed it through blue light that emerges from the Wi-Fi router?
If so, you are not alone. The way technology tools are largely designed on things like blue, and often lead them, The lights, flat touch inputs or capacity, and programs. Some, such as Amber Case, Founder Institute of Quiet TechnologyWe believe that these design options are distracted from the purpose of the devices and their functions and calls for a new approach to the product design.
“The Quiet Institute of Technology is a type of consumer defense committee that collects stories and research from neuroscientists who say, see how the mind wants the texture, look at how he wants physical buttons, and there is part of your mind needs [those]”I told Case Ars Technica. When we don’t face it and replace it with glass, we are not only losing anything about human experience, but we are already causing the stress of the mind.”
The calm technology institute, which was established in May 2024, provides workshops, participating in speaking, and a certificate of products that “enhance human life without causing stress or distraction”, “ Its website on the Internet He says.
Speaking to ARS, Case referred to user frustrations, such as software updates that hinder the use of cars and “Why is there no button on the back of the TV when I go to the hotel room late at night, and I must run a manual lamp on my iPhone to find the button to turn it off?” The case clarified: These experiments are the opposite of quiet technical philosophy:
Once we learn [how to ride a bike]We never have to learn it again. While, with how to make a lot of programs … and physical organisms now, you should re -learn them. It is changed or that the buttons are not in the right place, and you can feel that your mind wants to be the button in a specific place. This is not.
What makes the tool calm?
The Institute of Call for Technology is inspired by the papers written by Mark d. Wazer during CTO at Xerox Palo Alto Research Company (PARC), a search and development company now known as SRI International’s Parc. Weiser is often mentioned as a computing father everywhere, which is clearly different from the technological methods that flood people in technology, such as metavese. On the contrary, computing products are mixed everywhere more magic in user environments. For every quote from Weiser on The Institute of Call for Technology: “Computing almost everywhere is the opposite of virtual reality. The virtual reality places people inside a world created by the computer, forcing computing everywhere the computer to live here in the world with people.”
