JOMO. Disseny respectuós a l’economia de l’atenció. 2021

JOMO. Respectful design in the attention economy, is a project carried out by students in Audiovisual and Multimedia Communication.

The boom of the internet and social networks has transformed our daily lives. Both young people and adults spend more and more time on these platforms that constantly seek to capture our attention.

The project aims to investigate the repercussions of these new habits on individuals and analyze the design and psychology techniques that large companies use to maximize the time we spend on them.

This is complemented by the design, development, and dissemination of a free and open-source browser extension that aims to eliminate these addictive design patterns from social networks, in order to give control back to the users.
