“…This ‘slow’ revival is in keeping with writings on the value of disconnectedness (Fullerton, 2010), and the idea that we are losing control over our lives (Leshed and Sengers, 2011) because of the constant attention technology demands of us. Research embracing the slow technology philosophy has resulted in some unique prototypes which are devised to be used over a long period of time.…”

Reminiscence is used to support and create new social bonds and give meaning to life. Originally perceived as a preoccupation of the aged, we now recognize that reminiscence has value throughout the lifespan. Increasingly, social media can be used to both support and prompt reminiscence, with Facebook’s Lookback or Year in Review as recent examples. This work takes prompted reminiscence further, asking what forms and functions of reminiscence are supported by social media. Utilizing the online service MySocialBook, we invited participants to curate content from their personal Facebook account to then be transformed into a printed book. We used that book as a prompt for discussion of the reminiscence function of the curated material, using Westerhof and Bohlmeijer’s (2014) reminiscence framework as a starting point. We conclude that this framework is valuable in understanding the role of social media in reminiscence, but note that earlier models, such as Webster’s Reminiscence Functions Scale, are also relevant. We contribute to the reminiscence debate by adding a technological lens to the process of life review, whilst concurring with other researchers in this field that a robust conceptual framework is lacking, particularly when considering the forms of reminiscence that are most salient for younger people.

“…Estas capacidades porém, podem ser manipuladas como já citado devido a estarem intimamente ligadas a fatores externos e subjetivos mas também pela interação com objetos de design. O texto "Temporal design: looking at time as social coordination" (PSCHETZ L., BASTIAN M. & SPEED C. 2016) propõe que há diferentes abordagens de design sobre o tempo, como o Slow Design (STRAUSS & FUAD-LUKE, 2009) e Design for Solitude (FULLERTON, 2010). Dentre elas, os autores identificaram um crescente interesse pela especulação do futuro através de ações no presente, especialmente com o avanço de novas tecnologias.…”

“…A abordagem da ficção também assume que vivemos um período de aceleração do tempo percebido devido à grande quantidade de atividades e informações disponíveis, e sua resposta é baseada nos princípios de Design for Solitude, onde a limitação ao acesso de informações e restrição de determinadas atividades é o mecanismo pelo qual podemos experienciar uma outra percepção do tempo e, neste caso com o objetivo de concluir as atividades necessárias e "perder menos tempo" em distrações (FULLERTON, 2010), entretanto o mesmo se torna mais uma outra distração a ocupar o usuário. Entretanto, por se tratar de um projeto crítico este é justamente o objetivo da autora ao propor uma solução especulativa que gera outro problemas a serem discutidos.…”

ResumoEste artigo propõe esclarecer as principais características do gênero da ficção projetual através da análise obras contemporâneas que abordam diretamente a questão da percepção do tempo, e também verificar a capacidade do design especulativo como método de projeto. Como base da análise foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica sobre ficção projetual, design especulativo e percepção temporal. A partir desta revisão, foram extraídos os critérios de seleção das amostras bem como os pontos de análise a serem observados. Após a análise se conclui que a ficção científica coloca a percepção do tempo como uma questão social, enquanto a ficção projetual coloca o tempo como uma questão de design. Também conclui-se que existem diferentes abordagens para lidar com a percepção do tempo num projeto de design especulativo, e a ficção projetual é uma maneira do design propor reflexões sobre o papel do tempo na sociedade mais ativamente.Palavras Chave: ficção projetual; design especulativo; percepção temporal. AbstractThis article proposes to clarify the main characteristics of the genre of design fiction through the analysis of contemporary works that directly address the question of the time perception, and also verify the ability of speculative design as a design method. As a basis for the analysis, a bibliographic review was carried out on projective fiction, speculative design and temporal perception. From this review, the selection criteria of the samples were extracted as well as the points of analysis to be observed. After the analysis we conclude that science fiction places the perception of time as a social issue, while the projective fiction puts the time as a matter of design. It also concludes that there are different approaches to dealing with the perception of time in a speculative design project, and design fiction is a way for design to propose reflections on the role of time in society more actively.

“…Nonetheless, the sentimental aspect of a ripening design still seems to be beneficial for several reasons. One implied benefit is that, as the ripening feature lets its users have a private moment for reflection, it led the participants to have a moment of solitude [8] by providing the option for them not to share ("Writing down my feeling [in RR] helped me to be relieved. There was no need to share my anger with others, so I deleted the writings during ripening time."…”

“…A pause moment in the experience of interactive systems has been re-illuminated for its worth in allowing us to rest from the flow of experience and be in the mode of reflection [6,8]. By slowing down the pace of interaction, a pause moment allows us to look for the qualities of life besides efficiency and productivity [18] and to pursue our true well-being [10].…”

The evolution of SNS applications has focused on the increasing pace of communication. Accordingly, adopting pause moment design for the SNS domain becomes significant, considering its worth for mental well-being and diversity of experience. Nonetheless, the vision is currently controversial, as it is lacking in attempts to examine the worth of pause moment design for SNS communication. Therefore, we discussed the benefits of pause moment design as an SNS application, based on the case of Ripening Room. From observation, we have identified three benefits of pause moment design; preserving room for solitude, expanding time experience, and providing additional indirect cues for communication. Nevertheless, the benefits also imply limitations of the current design, thus require following attempts to adopt a pause moment design for the SNS domain.
