Paul Dourish, in his seminal paper on context and human-computer interaction, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Context,” argues for a model in which, “Context isn’t something that describes a setting; it’s something that people do....It is an emergent feature of the interaction, determined in the moment and in the doing. In other words, context and...activity...cannot be separated. Context...arises from and is sustained by the activity itself.”[
