What I did this week

Monday

I finally finished the list of default MacOS Sequoia features. I decided to omit the applications that are entirely about the computer like activity monitor, disk utility etc. As I need to get planning my final piece if I have time at the end I’ll add them in to the document. But right now I’m prioritising the apps that are digital versions of real tasks.

Tuesday

I’m going to need a little break from my computer as after spending days staring at it from morning to night has made me feel like I can’t see.

A summary of what the plan for the final piece is

I’m going to have 2 desks as that will allow the audience to understand my piece without interacting with it(I’m questioning the interactive part to be honest). As they can visually see the comparison I’m making between the first personal computer and the latest version of it.

The 1984 Macintosh Desk and The 2024 MacOS Sequoia Desk. Both will visualise the tasks done and tasks available to a user by taking the desk metaphor literally. They will also visualise the hardware capacity as the advancements hardware is a big part of why we are able to have the things we have now.
