Linda Stone makes the case for post-productive, "conscious computing:"

Personal technologies today are prosthetics for our minds…. Thirty years ago, personal computing technologies created a revolution in personal productivity, supporting a value on self-expression, output and efficiency. The personal communications technology era that followed the era of personal productivity amplified accessibility and responsiveness. Personal technologies have served us well as prosthetics for the mind, in service of thinking and doing….

[Today we need] personal technologies that are prosthetics for our beings. Conscious Computing. It's post-productivity, post-communication era computing. Personal technologies that enhance our lives…. We can use technology to help enable Conscious Computing, or we can find it on our own, through attending to how we feel.
