Abstract

Fine-tuned just-in-time persuasive messaging influence user’s decision making. For ICT to seize just-in-time moment, it must first sense such a moment. Sensing kairos in ICT pauses one of the strategic and significant challenges facing persuasive technology. The author argued that the concepts of Bayesian network and nature of time can aid in designing information systems that are time sensitive and can predict user’s possible next action. ICT that utilizes the ideas of A-and B perspectives of time, branching timeline, and Bayesian network are by elasticity of inventiveness a solution towards solving the challenge of sensing and seizing kairos in ICT.
