商品描述

With its theme, "Our Information, Always and Forever," Part I of this book covers the basics of personal information management (PIM) including six essential activities of PIM and six (different) ways in which information can be personal to us. Part I then goes on to explore key issues that arise in the "great migration" of our information onto the Web and into a myriad of mobile devices.

Part 2 provides a more focused look at technologies for managing information that promise to profoundly alter our practices of PIM and, through these practices, the way we lead our lives.

Part 2 is in five chapters:

- Chapter 5. Technologies of Input and Output. Technologies in support of gesture, touch, voice, and even eye movements combine to support a more natural user interface (NUI). Technologies of output include glasses and "watch" watches. Output will also increasingly be animated with options to "zoom".

- Chapter 6. Technologies to Save Our Information. We can opt for "life logs" to record our experiences with increasing fidelity. What will we use these logs for? And what isn’t recorded that should be?

- Chapter 7. Technologies to Search Our Information. The potential for personalized search is enormous and mostly yet to be realized. Persistent searches, situated in our information landscape, will allow us to maintain a diversity of projects and areas of interest without a need to continually switch from one to another to handle incoming information.

- Chapter 8. Technologies to Structure Our Information. Structure is key if we are to keep, find, and make effective use of our information. But how best to structure? And how best to share structured information between the applications we use, with other people, and also with ourselves over time? What lessons can we draw from the failures and successes in web-based efforts to share structure?

- Chapter 9. PIM Transformed and Transforming: Stories from the Past, Present and Future. Part 2 concludes with a comparison between Licklider’s world of information in 1957 and our own world of information today. And then we consider what the world of information is likely to look like in 2057. Licklider estimated that he spent 85% of his "thinking time" in activities that were clerical and mechanical and might (someday) be delegated to the computer. What percentage of our own time is spent with the clerical and mechanical? What about in 2057?

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書的主題是「我們的資訊,永遠存在」,第一部分介紹了個人資訊管理(PIM)的基礎知識,包括六個PIM的基本活動以及資訊對我們個人的六種不同方式。第一部分還探討了我們的資訊如何在網絡和各種移動設備中進行「大遷移」時所面臨的關鍵問題。

第二部分則更加專注地介紹了管理資訊的技術,這些技術有望徹底改變我們的PIM實踐,並通過這些實踐改變我們的生活方式。

第二部分共有五章:

- 第五章:輸入和輸出技術。支持手勢、觸摸、語音甚至眼動的技術結合在一起,支持更自然的用戶界面(NUI)。輸出技術包括眼鏡和手錶式設備。輸出還將越來越多地以動畫方式呈現,並提供「縮放」選項。

- 第六章:保存我們的資訊的技術。我們可以選擇使用「生活日誌」來記錄我們的經歷,以增加記錄的準確性。我們將如何使用這些日誌?還有哪些應該被記錄下來但卻沒有被記錄下來的內容?

- 第七章:搜索我們的資訊的技術。個性化搜索的潛力是巨大的,並且大部分尚未實現。持續搜索,位於我們的資訊景觀中,將使我們能夠在不需要不斷切換以處理新資訊的情況下,維持多樣的專案和興趣領域。

- 第八章:結構化我們的資訊的技術。如果我們要保留、尋找和有效利用我們的資訊,結構是關鍵。但是最佳的結構方式是什麼?如何在我們使用的應用程式之間、與其他人以及隨著時間的推移與自己共享結構化資訊?我們可以從網絡共享結構的努力中獲得哪些教訓?

- 第九章:PIM的轉變和變革:過去、現在和未來的故事。第二部分以比較Licklider在1957年的資訊世界和我們今天的資訊世界開始,然後我們考慮一下2057年的資訊世界可能會是什麼樣子。Licklider估計他將85%的「思考時間」用於文書和機械活動,這些活動(有一天)可能會被委派給電腦。我們自己的時間有多少用於文書和機械活動?2057年呢?
