My observations were around Time. I wanted to observe how people using their mobile phones to schedule their time. I observed three people- one in person, one via Skype, and one via Google Hangouts. I asked the three people to walk me through how they normally use calendar(s) on their phone around scheduling appointments and events (using the calendars they normally use).

It’s often considered to be boring, intrusive and lack of practical application at the first time but when “auto didacticism” is used, it…

Amazon released their website 2 years before Barnes & Noble was able to release theirs. Amazon released their e-book, the Kindle, 2 years before Barnes & Noble released the Nook.
