The document discusses the concept of "calm technology", which refers to technology designs that allow information to easily move between the periphery of our attention and the center. Calm technologies enhance our peripheral awareness by bringing more details into our peripheral vision without demanding our explicit attention. Examples given include video conferencing, which allows us to be aware of others' facial expressions and body language without directly looking at them. The goal of calm technology is to make information accessible without disruption or overwhelming our senses.
