Tame数码小秘书 Taming Your Multitasking
在现代社会中你不可能同时只做一件事情。作为群体中的一员,你得时刻保持能与他人联系得上的状态。现代科技使通讯手段空前发达,电话、电子邮件、短信等等。同时做几件事是必要的,而在某些情况下却很危险。在开车时发短信是其中最危险的一件事情,但要完全在车内禁用手机似乎又不太可能。
Tame是一个四方形的数码设备,为了解决这一问题,他可以设置你的状态信息与你所有的通讯设备同步。当你在开车的时候或不愿被打扰的时候,Tame会自动帮你接听电话、回信息等等,告诉联络你的人你正在开车。你可以在他的每一个面上设定信息,当你想更换状态的时候,只要旋转他把记载着你想要的状态信息的那一面朝上就可以了。
Multitasking is impossible to escape in today’s world. As humans, we’ve always had the desire to stay connected to the people around us. Now that technology has made this easier than ever, we’ve developed a fear of urgency that any given phone call, email, or text might be really important. Multitasking is necessary but it can be dangerous in some situations. Texting while driving is the number one distraction for new drivers, but it would also be difficult to restrict all phone use in a car. While we’re stuck with this desire to be connected, we think we can tame our multitasking.
Tame is a concept that sets a status message synced with all of your devices and applications. If you’re driving or need some privacy, you can tell Tame to handle auto-responses to your phone, IM, text, Facebook, and more. You can store messages on each face, and when you need to change your status, just rotate the cube to the desired face. Besides a written message, Tame uses a red-yellow-green color coding system to let people know at a glance if they can contact you.
