Distance Lab's Stefan Agamanolis presents a vision of the telecommunications future. Likening general cell phones to fast food in terms of health, pleasure, and personalization, Agamanolis advocates for a 'Slow Food' equivalent of communication technology, and gives a several preview into this future.

One of the first ideas he presents is a telecommunication immersion tank. Not only would such a device allow for clearer focus on and expression in the call at hand, but test studies have shown that it would allow for more creativity throughout the conversation.  Such an ability to control the context and themes of a conversation just through the technological medium, Agamanolis theorizes, could lead to radical shifts in all types of telecommunication.

Agamanolis continues to present different 'Slow Food' types of communication that allow for greater depth and interaction. Though some of these prototypes give speakers a chance to overcome large distances, such as a device for people in long-distance relationships, some are also designed to surpass face-to-face communication, such as interfaces that allow friends to interact and share commentary during movies.

As a whole, Agamanolis's presentation questions the generic platform of cell phones and other telecommunication devices. He focuses on high-quality and multi-faceted alternatives from Distance Labs that could bring together strangers and strengthen existing relationships.
