Resonance Design

everything and nothing that involves notions of a design and thinking pattern that Rob van Kranenburg and me called "Resonance Design" (or Extelligence Design, your choice)

You call it serendipity, I call it a prison

For the first time in the history of technology pervasive computing sets forth its own disappearance as technology as fundamental to its success. Will the result be dumb interfaces that hide all keys to the technology that drives it? Will it keep users from fixing it when it is broken? Can they build on it, play with it, remake, remodel, reuse it for their own ends? This being able to negotiate stuff, stuff that is axiomatic thinking embodied, is called: creativity.

I pod Shuffle will be the default in a ubicomp world.

Usman Haque says:

"the Ipod that disguises a design flaw with a catchy word
shuffle baby!
it's not a bug it's a *feature*..."

The 1992 Mark Weiser text on ubicomp has currently effectively cleared the field and is now the dominant global computing paradigm at levels of code (algorithm, hardware), node (distributed computing), link (sensor based interface design:wearables), and network (security as the default in politics, economy, social systems, planning, visual grid).

There are no natural predators to the paradigm now.

That is not a healthy situation.

Therefore we will develop an alternative: resonance design

Join the call for visibility.

As we move to the internet of things, let's make damned sure that it is not only Walmart and DOD and GS1.com rolling out the DNA of this new world, RFID - and call a bug a bug. Bug.
