A Diary Study of Information Capture at Work

Advances in technology are increasingly enabling devices which allow for the capture of a wide variety of information or media, whether it be for capture of paper documents, scenes, sound, or hand-written notes. The boom in digital cameras is perhaps the most salient example, but we are also seeing an increasing number of gadgets hit the market in the form of voice recorders, video cameras and document scanners. Not only are such devices becoming more ubiquitous, but they are also becoming more personal: they are becoming smaller, more portable, and in some cases more specialised for particular kinds of information capture. In addition, we are seeing more diverse and sophisticated software for delivering, manipulating, storing and viewing captured information. These capabilities, coupled with huge advances in computer storage capacity mean that we will not only be able to capture but also store more of life’s experiences.
