    Where are all the amazing innovative new smartphone designs? I just compared the Samsung Galaxy S23 and the iPhone 14 Pro and they have basically the same form factor. Where did innovation go in the smartphone space?

  • 724 EXTRA Think Like A Kid

    You can’t beat kids when it comes to new, innovative, out-of-the-box thinking. I mean, not all kids, but those fearless try-anything-because-they-don’t-know not-to kinds of kids. I think you know the kinds of kids I’m thinking of:

    1. The ones that climbed up to the roof with their blankets to see if they use them as capes to fly
    2. The ones that would take electronic things apart and put them back together
    3. The ones that always asked: “why?”
    4. While most of the kids who think out of the box don’t understand where the box is – similar to having a beginner’s mind – there is one key difference between having a beginner’s mind and a “kid mind” – which is the unabashed playfulness. The willingness to just try something out, just for fun, to see what happens. It’s active, assertive, and open-minded. And of all of the tools in our arsenal of innovation, this one is probably the easiest to uncover.

    5. 723 Transdisciplinary Strategy & Design with Despina Papadopoulos @ Principled Design

      I am a designer and researcher working at the intersection of embodied sensing systems and emerging materials and their relationship to meaning-making. I have engineered novel solutions for soft-to-hard interfaces, pioneered applications and processes for a stack of smart polymer technologies, and developed award-winning wearable environments that explore intimacy, ambiguity and markers of aliveness in encounters with technological systems.

      I have collaborated and developed projects with Lubrizol, Nivea, Ralph Lauren, Bless, and with engineers, fashion designers, quantum physicists, weavers, molecular engineers, and philosophers. I consult C-suite executives on innovation methodologies, business opportunities in emerging technologies, and new product introduction roadmaps.

      I have been teaching at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program for the past 18 years, where I developed the course and upcoming book The Softness of Things: Technology in Space and Form and I am founding faculty at SVA’s MFA on Design for Social Innovation.

      I am currently working on The Unruliness of Matter, turning the conceptual and the abstract into the tangible and sensory, as part of my practice-based research Ph.D. at the Royal College of Art, on a TECHNE Fellowship from the National Productivity and Innovation Fund, UK.

    6. 722 EXTRA We Need More Autonomy

      Why do our devices have so little autonomy? They know so much about us but none of that information is used to autonomously lift our burdens, but to keep us hooked and show us more advertising.  --- https://thinkfuture.com
