We selected the LoveBox because it was an example of an IoT device that implemented SMS messaging while also being ambient. It serves as a great alternative to the other connected devices that users need to be consistently engaged with to be effect, like normal sms. The LoveBox provides an example of calm technology influencing communication apps, but still allowing for meaningful and timely communication in the future of ubiquitous computing. Users still have all the connectedness of a regular phone, but carry much less propensity for distraction and/or disruption. We believe this increases the emotional or sentimental value that is attached to messages by refocusing all the emphasis on the actual message instead of it being split across several different potential distraction points.
