Mobile devices for teens

Alex Taylor presented his work on Mobile Phones for the Next Generation at the BBC last Friday (thanks to Hannah McBain). The headlines of his talk were gift giving, tangible memory stores and the expression of social networks.

There is a lot to be gleaned from the detail of his work, but in brief he identified the following design criteria for mobile devices for teenagers:

Admit usage/viewing of content in small groups (2 to 4 people)

Admit combination of photos, sounds, type and drawing in the same message

Provide individual memory sticks for saving messages/other content

Admit communication of identity, feelings, mood and other status of users

Express and add to the user identity

Express the preciousness of a private object

Express playfulness
