Personal Digital Assistants - Really!
Kakyou on 2003/08/25:
„What I want from a Personal Assistant is someone who organizes things for me, and tells me what I need to know, when I need to know it. To date, PDA's can help you organize your own stuff, and can tell you anything you told it to tell you later.“

„Some assistants, particularly in television, say privately that they feel frustrated, that they are no longer a part of the creative process of the editing room, that their job has been reduced to that of a machine operator. The Editors Guild saw some of this sentiment in written comments in the recent membership survey. Some editors might admit to a similar but opposite sentiment -- that assistants aren't as good as they used to be, that they now do a mechanical job and no longer understand how to serve an editor, that they, too, seem no longer part of a team.“http://www.editorsguild.com/newsletter/sepoct02/ ed_asst_status_report.html - Cached
„PORT WASHINGTON, NEW YORK, November 18, 1999 - Chances are you or someone you know has a new assistant -- not a girl or a guy Friday, but a small computer that fits into your palm and helps keep track of contacts, appointments and the myriad details of business and personal life. According to leading marketing information provider NPD INTELECT, nearly 2.5 million handheld personal computing devices have been sold for the year through September, a 62% increase over the same period last year. These gains alone put the category among the computer industry’s top performers.“http://www.npd.com/press/releases/ press_991118.htm - Cached
„Anyone who has taken a single course in perception or neurobiology knows that every person's brain interprets and organizes information differently. There are basic similarities (i.e., we all use the occipital lobe for visual information), but our neurons are as unique as our fingerprints. It's easy to be skeptical when a company claims to have a program that "organizes your computer like your mind." A recent PIM, "The Brain," made such a claim, but it only worked like the developer's brain and appears to have flopped in the marketplace.“http://cheerleader.yoz.com/archives/000141.html - Cached

„The real value of this is that data on the hard disk weighs nothing, while stuff carried on paper is bulky and heavy and could just be what causes your bag to end up as hold baggage--but hopefully not with the laptop inside it, too. Plenty of disk space is important because you have to carry every information source you need with you; you can't rely on being able to find what you need when you get there. You just might not be able to get an Internet connection or be able to plug into your customer's network.“http://www.dominopower.com/issuesprint/issue200207/ travel0702.html - Cached
„In examining the relationships between persons and artifacts in space, another relevant topic is how people organize tools and objects in space. When manipulating artifacts, human beings organize information spatially so as to simplify perception and choice, and to minimize internal computation in the physical world (Kirsh, 1995) as well as in virtual and augmented reality environments (Biocca et al., 2001). Biocca explored how people organized virtual tools in an augmented environment.“http://tecfa.unige.ch/perso/staf/nova/blog/archives/ 2003_08.html#000259 - Cached
