These guidelines can serve as criteria according to which digital technologies can be evaluated. Also, these principles can direct design of post-smartphone digital technologies which will, hopefully, reduce the cognitive and physiological harm caused by unreflected deployment of current technologies. As a concrete example of such harm-reducing technologies, we provide first insights into the structure and function of a &ldquo;magic wand&rdquo;, a make-your-own-device digital artefact satisfying the above-mentioned guidelines.</p> <br><p>Article is available here: <a href="https://www.iikii.com.sg/journal/EIET/1/1/5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.iikii.com.sg/journal/EIET/1/1/5</a></p> Info
