PDA, PHONE SOFTWARE TO MAKE USERS MORE AWARE OF SOCIAL CONNECTIONS
A graduate design student is testing a prototype of "The Social Fabric," a software project for mobile phones and PDAs, is designed to help people see at a glance how well they're managing their social networks. Steven Blyth created software that displays avatars on a mobile device's screen, representing individuals in a group of friends or acquaintances. The avatars use body language to show how recently users have contacted each person. Blyth hopes the software will make users more aware of the state of their social interactions, and the repercussions of not nurturing relationships.
