Task 13: Redesigning and re-instrumentalising activities


Activities in our everyday life are surrounding us almost every second. Sleep, wakeup,  eating, walking/driving to work/school etc. And there are also minor activities like switching on lights, turning off alarm clock and so on…

This would not be probably any surprise, that todays engineering wonders can minimize all our activities and this might end up like humans on the spaceship in the movie called wall-e:

To return to the topic of post there’s not lot of activities left I wold like to give away. If there was some kind of mind-blogger, that would be my choice. I only read and think, and blogger keeps posting my ideas :)

As my master thesis idea is about learning environments for children with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, then I wold like to change some todays activities they are doing to learn some common everyday life things. It may sound like dream but, there should be some kind of environment, which recognizes user without difficult login and guides child trough all lessons and day activities. Sure theres no good output yet, but this smart thing should be able to recognize whether child is in mood for math or grammar, is it time for brake or is the acquirement on the highest level.

In conclusion today we can re-instrumentalise most activities we have, but I guess theres enough of cars and elevators.

It would be much better to have something like this instead of reading allday long from computer screen :)
