Shift into Oxygen


Wieser (1991) and Lehman (2009) state that, “the most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it. It needs to be like oxygen; ubiquitous, necessary, and invisible.” Wieser (1991) went on to state that “whenever people learn something sufficiently well, they cease to be aware of it. When you look at a street sign, for example, you absorb its information without consciously performing the act of reading.”
