We’re already living in the future, we’re just living in a stupid version of it. We have video calling in our pockets, the Metaverse, electric cars, and lots of other ‘advanced technologies’ but most of them don’t work very well.
But it’s not just technology that’s stupid. We also have a climate disaster, economic disaster, political movements we thought were left in the past, and a general sense of stagnant progress. This is not how it was supposed to be.
This blog is about how things can be better. It’s easiest to pick apart the design flaws in products around me so there will be a lot of that, but this is also about how to build better products. And sometimes the product we talk about might be us.
I am a hardware designer and Mechanical Engineer by profession but I also have a Master’s degree in BioEngineering. I intend to write about topics on which I am minimally qualified to speak, and maybe a few which are pure speculation. And maybe through analyzing these things we can create for ourselves a future which is less stupid.
