johnseelybrown.comInspired by Light Phone’s self description:
"Simple devices with quality tools, designed to be used as little as possible".
mark weiser in 1996:
- the purpose of a computer is to help you do something else.
- the best computer is a quiet, invisible servant.
- the more you can do by intuition, the smarter you are; the computer should extend your *unconscious*.
