BUDDY BUTTONS and PLASTIC PALS:  ON COMPANION TECHNOLOGIES

An interview with Roman Onufrijchuk by Richard Smith

Roman is a colleague of mine at SFU and fellow member of CPROST. We worked at NewMIC together and at my request he has turned his philosophical and phenomenological mind to the problem of mobile rich media context-aware technologies. In his view the coming generations of mobile technologies ought to be thought of as "companion technologies."
I grabbed Roman for a minute the other day and asked him a few questions. These are his answers, between smokes and sips of a dark americano, in the sun outside Blenz.

I hope to bring you more of this stuff, as the debate between Roman and I expands and extends over the next few months.
