“Driven to distraction”
Take a look at how many windows you have open on your computer, how many devices you have linking you to the internet, and think about how long it was since you were last offline for more than a couple of hours. Living in an ‚always on‘ world is having a huge impact on our users – in how they plan, how they act and how they think. But practice in the field of HCI is rooted in 1970s computing – a world that seems laughably out of date. The result is our users are constantly distracted and disrupted causing real damage to their productivity, happiness and health. Sadly, most attempts to fix this problem have only made it worse. I’ll look at some alternative strategies and show you how you can fix things, starting today and what this problem says about the future of our industry.
