A design, in which information from the world is structured, is what I call an information product. The information, which is stored into these designs, can be derived by interacting with them. I believe that these designs and interactions with them should be integrated in a seamless way into the daily routine, so that we can most fully command technology without being dominated by it. This is described by Mark Weiser and John Seely Brown with the term Calm Technology: "Technology is encalming when the enhanced peripheral reach increases our knowledge and so our ability to act without increasing information overload." (Weiser & Brown, 1997, p. 4)
