Personal media sharing (text, photos and video) has become a spectacle of the immediate, yet it may come at the cost of meaning and significance we attribute to our media and experiences. To explore this design space, we created a new tool, Postulater, for time-delayed photo and video sharing. Adopting principles of Slow Technology, Reflective Design and Communication Practices, we seek to understand how communication tools should be designed, and how they might be used, if users are able to select notions of delivery time explicitly. We imagine how such a tool, aided with the dimension of time, could bring new utility and meaning to how we share and communicate.
