Context

Our ambient device functions to nudge users in the direction of positive change and productivity. Social media is not an platform modern culture typically associated with productivity. In fact, many individuals find themselves addicted to checking their social media accounts on a routine basis. This behavior distract us from our work and our lives, and in many cases fuels the addiction we have with technology today. By visualizing the number of times, we look at our social media accounts, we are forced to reflect on our behavior and make positive changes if we believe they are warranted.

We envision our ambient device on a desk in a home office or on a desk at a users workplace. Desks are a place commonly associate with productivity. Through communicating how many times a user frequents a given social media site, the user may be prompted to glance at the ambient device the next time they are feeling distracted or having trouble focusing and have the urge to check their device.
