I believe that it is not possible to create one web browser to fit the
needs of everyone who uses the Web. Though others might propose many
ideas, such as having different "modes" for each type of individual,
or switching features on and off, this will not necessarily address
everyone's needs. This is clearly because each person is unique.
As a result, I tried to not create a super-charged browser, like
everyone else(which by the way, were wonderful), but something that
could work in any browser. So, in essence, my project is really an
extension.
My project is a more or less a special world. (Hence the name "sekai"-
Japanese for "world".) The World Wide Web is huge and each website is
like a city. The websites presented are the big cities of this world
and they are meant to represent the websites the user visits
frequently. The more they visit the website, the bigger the city's
name is on this world.
Second, all the cities are connected by analyzing the user's social
patterns. By clicking on a website, not only will that website open,
but it will also ask if the user wants to open another website that is
based on the same information. The more and more two websites have
information that is similar, they darker and larger the lines between
them get.
Though this is at first confusing to understand, it is actually very
simple. Let's say that the user watched an episode of Bones, an
American drama television series, on Hulu and then searched Wikipedia
for "list of bones episodes" for a night each week, for two weeks in a
row. Then, the third time they try to do that same thing, the user
will be asked if they want to open the Wikipedia page right after they
finish watching the episode of Bones. This is the situation I tried to
model in my prototype.
I believe that this extension will help people access repetitive
information. In today's world, obtaining information faster is
critical, regardless of what browser one uses to use.
Prototype: http://bit.ly/157jaA (Please scroll down to the end of the first page you are directed
to... the image is large and a continue button is underneath it.)
I'm a high school student and because I don't know any Flash at all, I
couldn't create a really advanced prototype, like everyone else, but I
still was able to use my knowledge of HTML to put together a
prototype.
I would like to thank everyone involved with presenting and organizing
the Mozilla Labs Design Challenge. I enjoyed the program and hope to
work with you and the other contestants again. Thanks :)
