Bruce Sterling on the future of interaction design. sweet.
by Vinson Van Haaff
Here is as lively talk about the future of interaction design from cyberpunk author/legend Bruce Sterling. It was the closing lecture at the ‘Innovationsforum Interaktionsdesign’ conference in Potsdam, Germany. He painted a weird and wonderful vision of the future filled with biometrics and wireless money transfers. Probably one of the best futurist rants I’ve heard in a long time. He shoots down talking computers (think Mr. Clippy) and runs through a piece of the large list of technologies that were assimilated by the cell phone. Check it out, you’ll feel like a better person at the end. I swear.
p.s. - The ‘Innovationsforum Interaktionsdesign’ was one of the most important conferences on interaction design in 2007. All presentations from the conference are available as videos on the conference site (note that many of the lectures are in German).
