Desk top and bump top
In one of my earlier posts I want my desktop…, I said that antiquated metaphors and ways of organizing things in digital space need to change. And that we need to look back to nature and world around us.
I also mentioned that some of the things I would like to see
- Heaps of items with ability to search and sort through them. A heap of music albums, a heap of comics , a heap of jokes, a heap of news clippings , a heap of my writings…neatly stacked on the corner of computer screen. May be not neatly. Stacked in shelves…
- A safe box with lock on my computer. Whatever I put in gets encrypted.
- A box or envelop in which I can just throw in things.
I am delighted to see part of this vision being realized in this TED talk by Anand Agarawala. Very very neat.
