Calm tech isn't about nit levels. It's about how much the tech inserts itself into your attention.

I don't understand how the Daylight Computer, which is a full Android tablet, qualifies as calm tech.

Maybe that's the spirit but you'll always have people who would like a clock on the wall, always visible and others who don't, but don't mind touching a button for it to light up. So I think "calm" can't be objective.
