I live in Singapore. My preoccupations are asia, the human condition and the reinvention of industrial design. I like to try new things.
Emails, tweets, notifications, text and instant messages, Facebook status updates, Path moments — all these are new tools of communication when taken together are notification hell. These notifications prey on human desire for a dopamine fix. And just as we are over-caffenited, I think the 21st century is quickly making us over-notified.
Hi my name is Ted, and I’ve been suffering from notification since I first got online. I believe I’m a recovering notification addict, but all I can do is take each day as they come. And if I get through that day in control, then it was a good day
