Evans “What comes after smartphones?” (2020)

“There’s an old saying that the first fifty years of the car industry were about creating car companies and working out what cars should look like, and the second fifty years were about what happened once everyone had a car – they were about McDonalds and Walmart, suburbs and the remaking of the world around the car, for good and of course bad. The innovation in cars became everything around the car. One could suggest the same today about smartphones – now the innovation comes from everything else that happens around them.”

Q:スマホ-スマホ対峙主体の関係で何が実現できるか?
A1:各々の観察状況/OBSERVED STATESに対する「アンプレザント力/UNPLEASANT FORCE」を互いに楽に発揮できる場/FIELDをつくることができる
・ スマホから見ると:スマホ対峙主体の運動能力を楽に「占有する」ことができる(外界状況よりもスマホ自身に「熱狂させる」ことができる)
・ スマホ対峙主体から見ると:スマホは逃避状況から楽に「駆けこむ」デジタル避難所/D-SHELTERになる
