Guest: Tyler Alterman

Welcome to our first episode! Computers are about to change fundamentally. Instead of just focusing on incremental updates, we dive into fundamental questions that could reshape your digital life. Join us as we explore:

• What will computing look, feel, and function like in the next 10 years?
  • This central theme guides our conversation as we push beyond current trends to imagine transformative shifts in our relationship with technology.
• How do the ways we interact with computers spread and evolve?
  • We delve into the “memetics” of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), discussing how specific interfaces, interaction patterns, and ideas gain traction and shape the future, much like cultural memes.
• What could radically different, even “dream,” computer interfaces look like?
  • Moving into speculative territory, we touch on conceptual ideas (like a “dream computer in Central Park”) to challenge assumptions about how we must interact with technology.
• Why are new narratives and stories about technology’s future so important?
  • Exploring the power of storytelling, we discuss how crafting and sharing compelling visions for technology can influence innovation, adoption, and the very direction of development.
