A chapter in Inventing the Almost Impossible, 2023, pp 7-21 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The rise of human-centered design thinking in the 1980s could not predict the growing number of products and services we would invite into our lives. As we continue to innovate and build upon the design of these devices, our emphasis on design shifts to support the weak points of these outdated systems rather than empowering the humans who inhabit them. This leads to short-term fixes rather than long-term improvements, driving a wedge further between the actors within the ecosystem and the solutions these systems are trying to solve. Short-term thinking has put us in this situation. For us to move forward as a species, we need to stop kidding ourselves and focus on improving the human condition rather than continuing to serve the same what we have designed for ourselves. Through long-term thinking, visionary movements, and building for a better tomorrow, we can create a better environment for all actors involved in the systems.
