Description: At the 1983 International Design Conference at Aspen, a young Steve Jobs predicted that within two years, the market would see more computers than automobiles. He also said the computers would likely be poorly designed, though they didn?t have to be. It was difficult for the audience to understand the deep sense in which he meant this commitment to good design. Beyond mere ?gift-wrapping,? the emerging graphical interfaces were to signal computational functions that most could not even imagine. How might we be comparably limited today? What new futures might be realized in a year or two ? let alone 29 years from now?
