Timo Arnall:
> Intentionally hiding the phenomena and materiality
> of interfaces, smoothing over the natural edges,
> seams and transitions that constitute all technical
> systems, entails a loss of understanding and agency
> for both designers and users of computing. Lack of
> understanding leads to uncertainty and folk-theories
> that hinder our ability to use technical systems,
> and clouds the critique of technological developments.
> 
> As systems increasingly record our personal activity
> and data, invisibility is exactly the wrong model.
