今天的软件并不能帮助我们有效地划分我们的数字世界。我们必须自己组织他们。这个多显示器用户的实地研究考察了拥有大量显示空间的人如何安排信息。第二监视器通常用于与主要任务相关的次要活动，用于对不是主要焦点的信息的外围意识，以及便于访问资源。第二个监视器以难以测量的方式提高效率，但可以具有实质性的主观益处。该研究的结论是说明了当今系统和应用程序的缺点：我们的工作方式可以以相对较低的成本得到改善。
Software today does not help us partition our digital worlds effectively. We must organize them ourselves. This field study of users of multiple monitors examines how people with a lot of display space arrange information. Second monitors are generally used for secondary activities related to principal tasks, for peripheral awareness of information that is not the main focus, and for easy access to resources. A second monitor improves efficiency in ways that are difficult to measure yet can have substantial subjective benefit. The study concludes with illustrations of shortcomings of today's systems and applications: the way we work could be improved at relatively low cost.
