Abstract This article describes the development and use of broken probes: prompted processes of degradation that produce unique identifiers with which to associate and retrieve digitally recorded histories. We offer our design and deployment of Broken Probes as a methodology for eliciting insights into how broken objects and acts of breakage may be given new life through their integration with ubiquitous computing technologies. Based on these developments, we introduce the genre of worn media-a variety of computational material with which to frame and critically examine the manifestation of wear among digital things. We end by discussing how the genre of worn media sensitizes designers and Ubicomp researchers to issues of incompleteness, impermanence, and imperfection to help account for the ethical, material, and historical terms of endurance in a digital age.

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.
