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? |
