Year: 1994
Type: article
Abstract: At RXRC we have been trying to understand how anticipated developments in mobile computing will impact our customers in the 21st century. One opportunity we can see is to improve computer-based support for human memory --- ironically a problem in office systems research that has almost been forgotten. Considering how often computers are presented as devices capable of "memorising" vast quantities of information, and performing difficult-to-memorise sequences of operations on our behalf, we might be surprised at how often they appear to have increased the load on our own memory. The Forget-me-not project is an attempt to explore new ways in which mobile and ubiquitous technologies might help alleviate the increasing load. Forget-me-not is a memory aid designed to help with everyday memory problems: finding a lost document, remembering somebody 's name, recalling how to operate a piece of machinery. It exploits some well understood features of human episodic memory to provid
