Molecular infoTasking
The goal of the project was to deliver inventive solutions of information management for the future. This was a four-people team project, and we used the structured design planning method that allowed the team members to systematically approach problems and come up with tangible solutions. The process started with the project definition, continued with information development, structuring and synthesis, then finished up with a compelling communication. The following was the overview of the project, quoted from the final report.
"People care about information goals, not information tasks. The information environment of today demonstrates that although advances in technology have reduced many of the barriers that impeded information goals in the past, many of the trends that have opened the doors to the 'information age' have simultaneously continued new challenges to overcome. Think of the possibilities - accessing information, capturing information, naming information, saving information, exchanging information - technology has made it all relatively easy and immediate on the task level. This report will consider human-centered issues and step twenty years into the future with the assumption that nanotechnology will be an enabled technology. This assumption allows us to propose an integrated system of products and services that will fully support information tasks and subsequent management tasks so that people can focus in what they care about during information interaction - goals."
Examples shown on the page were some of the solutions.
