Resumen
Innovations in technology is guiding human to information that is valuable to them, but people care more about relationships and communicating with people, these are the foci in the future. Scientist's work in the Context Aware Computing Group at the MIT Media Laboratory explores and creates implicit communications between people and computers. Reducing the explicit communication that a person has to do, reducing the focus that a person has on the tools being used rather than on the task at hand, helps to work toward the ultimate goal of decreasing the cognitive overhead for doing the things one want to do. Many examples exist of adaptive computing, such as the simple properties of a jukebox in the context-aware bed. A more challenging and exciting possibilities for replacing human activity with computer-enhanced or computer-substituted activity is under examination. A person is left with the adventure, with choosing and creating things to work on, things to find out about, that no one has ever done before. That feeling of adventure, of creating new tools, of finding new possibilities is more like human behavior.
