The document discusses the concept of 'Memect Memory Connected', which emphasizes human-centric design principles for memory extension and knowledge exchange. It outlines three main principles: human-readable knowledge, tangible rewards and cost reduction, and bottom-up growth to enhance user experience and communication. Additionally, it presents use-case studies and a vision for creating a connected knowledge exchange network.

- 4. Memect Memory Connected Human Centric Design – Principle 1 4 Human readable knowledge • To extend human’s memory, not only store, but also recall • To facilitate human communication Communicate
- 5. Memect Memory Connected Human readable knowledge: Design Issues • For developers • Readable code and data (e.g. JSON, python) • Reusable code and data (e.g. snippet, modules) • For users • Readable data (e.g. visual vs. raw text) • Explorable data (e.g. faceted browsing) 5 “programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute” (Abelson and Sussman , 1984) http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/front/node3.html

- 7. Memect Memory Connected Tangible rewards and cost reduction: Design Issues • For developers • Ownership of code and data, e.g. fork vs. branch • Keep it simple, e.g. RESTful vs. SOAP • For users • Social/cognitive rewards often work better than money. e.g. stackoverflow vs. google answer • Expect immediate response from system, e.g. wikipedia, electronic spreadsheet 7
- 8. Memect Memory Connected Human Centric Design – Principle 3 8 Bottom-up growth scales • Top-down: consensus may take years, by experts • Bottom-up: shared and evolving, by users
- 9. Memect Memory Connected Bottom-up growth: Design Issues • For developers • Leverage well-adopted technologies, e.g. json, csv, • Data can have mixed representations • Live schema from live data • Coding in evolving, agile, mashup fashion • For users • Publish data now, refine it on demand • My data first 9
- 10. Memect Memory Connected Use-case Study • Support mailing list users • Daily routine: improve signal/noise ratio • Conversation: need timely response • Topic: find relevant discussions for a topic • Contact: trust in unfamiliar contact, activity stream • Support team common knowledge • Shared understanding: reduce unnecessary cost in consensus making • Is consensus just the project manager’s view? • Group memory and knowledge transfer: versatile search/navigation tools to recall team knowledge 10
- 11. Memect Memory Connected Vision: Knowledge Exchange Network • Extended Memory: capture and organize • Connected Memory: exchange 11 person A Person B person C Broker X Broker Z Broker Y Questions and Comments?
