Attention “What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.” ~Herb Simon as quoted by Hal Varian Scientific American September 1995

Next Time… Ubiquitous Comp. The Computer for the 21 st Century Mark Weiser Charting Past, Present, and Future Research in Ubiquitous Computing Gregory Abowd and Elizabeth Mynatt

Human Subjects  Website: edu  We suggest everyone take the CITI tutorial  Next submission for non- medical review is May 1, so earliest approval is around June 1  Don’t submit if research is just for the course  Do submit if you plan on carrying this research further (e.g. intend to publish after running larger study)

Critique Recap  You are expected to read all papers  Only critique readings with bullets next to them  Submit critique online by 7am on day of class  Can skip any 3 days you want for any reason, no exceptions beyond that  Follow the format posted online ( format.html)

Discussion Section Choices  Everyone must lead 1 discussion section  top 3 choices to ASAP – assignments are first-come, first-served  Syllabus will be updated as assignments are made – don’t request something that’s already been assigned!
