Designing Compassionate Systems
summary
Claim: design software to answer "how you are" not "where you are." Concrete builds include Google Calendar as life log that ingests every interaction, geofence automations that dim lights, text bartenders, or cut a geo‑fenced credit card, Netatmo sound sensors that throttle calls, Google Glass prompts to shop less, plugins that strip numbers from Facebook, home lighting and playlists that replay memories, and a wearable/watch death stack reporting percent life used (about 59%). Each system runs and changes behavior; metrics, automations, and surprising personal thresholds drive the lessons.
