Phil Lindberg: "Designing for people in an always-on world"

The always-on stream of communication and metadata is both profoundly compelling, and quite overwhelming. What issues could we highlight to ensure that we create elegant and desirable solutions that meet the needs of everyday people. Solutions that acknowledge not only what we (can) do, but why we (want to) do it?
