Digital devices built for education rather than consumption and entertainment should not neglect intricacies of human physiology, ergonomy and cognition. For this reason, we present first four properties of an idealized &rdquo;digital primer&rdquo; artefact which could maximize the human and cultural potential of a normal elementary school pupil by means of holistic, semi-supervised interaction. Properties addressed and defined in this article are: &rdquo;speech-based&rdquo;, &rdquo;narrative&rdquo;, &rdquo;circa-temporal&rdquo; and &rdquo;habit-disrupting&rdquo;.</span></span></p> <br><p class="western" lang="en-US" align="justify">&nbsp;</p> <br><p class="western" lang="en-US" align="justify"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Key-words</strong>. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">digital primer, speech-based, circa-temporal, narrative, habit-disrupting, smartphone epidemic </span></span></p> Info
