If the purpose of technology evolution is to help people to live a better and more convenient life, the new technology-related exploration and experiments are worth conducting.

This Future is Pathetic
The Black Mirror clip shows a pathetic view of the future. Everyone is rated by a score and that score will indicate whether or not this person is qualified for some higher level priorities or services. The eye lens screen technology will not become true if we don’t know how to minimize batteries into a…
Tech should adapt to us not us adapting to it.
I find this week’s topic extremely interesting and have given the ethics of technology much thought as it has become more impactful to our lives. Through the evolution of technology, most of the time a product is successful because of user need, marketing, and most of all, money. As a result, money ends up driving…
Immersive Reality
Sci-fi shows visualize the extreme prediction of the future with technological advancement.

Depending on the rating, people get benefits or disadvantages if one’s rating is low. It limits people to…
What Is and What Could Be

Reflection
Neil Bozeman said in their “Entertainment to Death” that human beings will be destroyed by what they love. In his view, changes and innovations in science and technology will inhibit the depth of our thinking and make cultural content a vassal of entertainment. Like “Black Mirror” takes this “destruction” to the extreme. What we see…

They are more sensitive to the limitations they have. For most of us, we must experience temporary activity limitations, such…
Redesign the mouse for the disabled
Due to the needs of remote classes, my most frequent interaction recently is to use my mouse. When thinking about how to provide a better mouse experience for people with various disabilities, I think that for those with hearing impairment, traditional mouse use does not affect their ability to operate. For blind people, unfortunately, even…
Application of IA in different touchpoints
Imagine that when people go to the supermarket for shopping, they must expect clear guide signs, so that they can quickly find the areas they want to go to and their target products. However, people in different supermarkets hope to see different guidance systems. For example, when shopping at IKEA, people certainly don’t want the…
