Exercise:
 1. Use three aspects of slow technology (reflective technology, time technology, and amplified environments) to analyze Photobox.
 2. Use "Form" and "Function" to analyze Photobox.
 3. Evaluate Photobox with presence/use, aesthetics (inner logics)/empirical studies, reflection/usability, interpretation (explanation and understanding)/positivism, different contexts
 4. Use guidelines for slow tech (simplicity in material and complexity in form) to analyze Photobox


Project 3. Slow technology design
[Step 1] OBSERVATION:
              1. find an interesting activity as you like, photo, dance, music, sport, reading, party, ...
                  (Take photos, record sounds, or video, capture screen, interview, ethnography)
              2. identify the fast parts of the activity
              3. seek opportunities for three aspects of slow technology (reflective technology, time technology, and amplified environment)
