Last week I thought we were in the 11th week so I wrote the response for this week. To make up for that, I am writing the response for last week now.
Do you seriously think the Future Of Interaction should be a single finger? Throughout the article, I was mostly not in agreement with Bret. Why? Because, well I feel like he was writing as though he didn’t want a change in reality but we all know that development comes with change. The only part I kind of agreed with him was when he said that this form of interaction is a transition to the future but even with that, we must keep in mind that the future keeps changing. Today, the “then” future(using screens) is the current present, and saying that this form of interaction is a transition into the future is like saying the keypad is the transition to using smartphones. True but are smartphones still the future? What I am trying to say is, that development comes with change and one can not say he has developed without changing. As we grow, we tend to stop doing/using some things for example, even in biology, humans have evolved to a point where we do not have a use for the appendix or the spleen, some organs that were once vital. I feel like saying we should not develop into an age of pictures behind screens hinders our “capabilities” to grow. Through this, we got to create new word to which we now explore. A new future. For me I would say the future is not something that should be controlled cause then we can not explore our capabilities to the fullest.
