Digital Information Interfaces: problems and limitations

I was reading Kerne's definition of interface ecology, and I thought of my own experience with information interfaces. For me, information interfaces are pathways of information from a public medium to the personal space and visa versa. These interfaces suffer from a certain rigidity that may hamper the flow of information's intensity, much like an entangled web of pipes squeezing on the flow of water.

Thomas Juan and Leon Sterlin have defined dynamic interfaces in their paper as "mutable", whereas traditionally the dynamicity refers rather to graphical dynamics. In my point of view, information interfaces's dynamicity lies in their ability to dynamically present the information related to the content of their usage. such definition of dynamic information interfaces is rather new and suggests not only a dynamic form of presenting information, but also dynamic content.

Dynamic information interfaces address the web on several levels. First, they may provide a solution for overloaded interfaces such as web pages with scrolling. They also provide information in the same context where they are needed. Finally, they follow the evolution of the actor's understanding and interactivity with inherent information, following his/her interests dynamically and non-linearly as they change or progress. such ability frees the actor from any ontological or semantic commitment prior to interaction with the interface.

In my previous experiences, I have addressed the issues of providing help information on the same page where needed by using dynamic annotations, I also investigated layout problems such as scrolling, and finally I developed the Expression Wall in an attempt to use different sections of a web page's utile space to dynamically present related information in the actor's peripheral attention while he/she devotes attention to a piece of information.
