I keep trying to imagine what they're describing and every single possibility seems AWFUL and INFLEXIBLE.
The landing page isn't helping their cause. The "slow food" concept works great for food, but sorry, it just doesn't translate to "slow computing."
Looking a bit closer, this seems to be a design challenge/experiment. Not intended to be practical, but more like a provocative exercise in new possibilities. I actually like it. It is good to try-on half baked ideas sometimes.
- timthorn 9y ago> it just doesn't translate to "slow computing." I think it does. If you can remember the Macintosh before the days of the MultiFinder, you ran one application at a time. The interface was simple, and you had to focus on the task at hand. Distractions were limited to any Desk Accessories you might have. Ok, you did have a screen, but I think it is a good analogue to the Slow Food concept and has its own advantages over the interfaces we use today.
