In the tech-heavy world we live in now, is the role of the designer dying out?

I'm a designer

Which makes me bias on the following topic a little bit

I don't think the role of the designer is dying

But it's definitely changing

Design is so important 

And as more and more digital products are made

And more things like Facebook, Instagram and snapchat makes loads of money 

We need more designers than ever

But designers need to get more technical

Because that's where the industry is going 

We'll still always need good graphic designers 

And good designers who can design brands

But we need more technical designers more than ever

So my bet right now for the next five years 

Is to diversify your design skill

And become more technical

In another 10 years time everything will probably change back again

So if you want to play the long game

Ignore everything I've said
