This lecture looks at the issues and complexities behind even apparently simple tasks and highlights the developments needed before we can realistically expect the automatic generation of shopping lists.
Predictions of the future often set out a range of apparently highly desirable services - mobiles that can automatically change travel plans, home heating systems that change accordingly and, yes, fridges that send shopping lists to mobile phones. Yet despite the apparent attractiveness of such services, few have emerged. This lecture looks at the issues and complexities behind even apparently simple tasks and highlights the developments needed before we can realistically expect the automatic generation of shopping lists. It suggests an alternative research agenda may be needed, targeted less on technology and more on user behaviour and device interaction.
