Linda Stone
Check on experience of always on lifestyle
Aikido: the opposite of a profound truth is another profound truth
World may be noisy, but value may come from stillness
Sweet spot
Since 1988 the art of continuous partial attention building as an adaptive behavior
We are adapting beyond it
Not multitasking – motivated by desire to be a live node on network – feeling part of something larger
Optimizing for best opportunities for connection
Thinking about the 1960s – motivated by self-expression – me as center of gravity
But the backlash happened: being all about self-expression is lonely – we miss being part of something larger
1985-2005: network as center of gravity – moving from productivity to communication
Always scanning for the new thing, trying to make the most out of every opportunity
“We were everywhere, except where we actually were.”
“Disarm at the door” – cell phones, pagers, etc
Disengaging from networks strategically
Anywhere era has created sense of constant crisis
Email not effective for decision-making – yet we continue to use it.
Communication needs are different – high bandwidth, low bandwidth etc – need meets
Crisis management, conflict resolution best done with certain methods
We get instructions on physical tool use…shouldn’t we get instruction on virtual ones?
Email is an attention chipper-shredder
On edge of next shift past connect-connect-connect – now we are overstimulated and unfulfilled – yearning for protection, meaning, and belonging
Usability is no longer good enough – the new mantra is improving quality of life – the only way to differentiate going forward
Protect, help, filter, help create a meaningful connection, discern, use information wisely
Noise -> data -> information -> knowledge -> understanding -> wisdom
From knowledge to being understanding and wisdom workers
