Research Questions
How do you get a bunch of devices in a room, add people and large displays, and really make it work? 
What do we really know about how multiple iworkers or consumers will work effectively integrating all of these technologies?
(Hint: it may be less than you think!)
And, what new tasks and activities do multiple device ecologies support well?

Sharing v. Privacy
George will discuss this some with “The Box”
We know from studies that if you put your personal information on a large display, co-located users will consume it!
“You put it there, you must have wanted me to read it.”
We need designs that account for the fact that others might be present in social contexts
