this sort of narrative design, instead of material in form, asking the right question, what would how would we function within this? What would the programms be? And in the book, you also kind of look at this idea of expansions throughout. But one of the ones that really grab me is this idea of bio design as tis ubmerging field. And i want it to take some time to day to talk about that, because this is when we we begin to look at how, how important are all the things we don't think about every day, that we touch and use, and how is that going to shift? Where is the power and bio design? Nd, where do you see that going? And why do you see this is an important emerging
Speaker 1
so i think er it's important to say that i could be an alternative to digita t we assume that the world is digita because it has to be digital, and the future is digital, and you can't imagine a past without being digita. But that is arbitrary wright. It could also have been ternary wright, in three digits instead of two digits. But it could also have been biological. So if you take ca biochemical. If you take the old type of photography, it was chemically based, right? We could had computers that were chemically based, and we're working towards them, right? If you take whipwere computers in they bio computers. Rat we're going in that direction. And you have all o this now, the crisper technology that's coming up, when we start being able to hack biology. These areom game changes, and there's also a need for it. So so if you take the old school type of design as a making a chair, which is really, as an industrial designer, the most classic thing to do and also the most difficult, maybe you can grow chairs to day. So that is complete paradime shift in terms of how you think about it. You can grow meat. So there's kind of needs in terms of creating food without to avoid scarcity, but also to avoid metane gasis coming out, youkothe the animals fighting. And so there are tons of things happening. I think, again, we get caught up in arbitrary things, and we think that's how things are going to be. So if you if you were going to say, well, actually, if most people are going to say which are the most important senses? And then i think most would either say a sound or sight, right? Or dor visual. Everything around us is ord visual. Were talking now by auditive instruments, et cetera. But if you lose it, the only sense that are gong to increase the likelihood of you committing suicide. So if you lose your sight or your hearing, you'll think you're going to want to commit suicide. The first two weeks are going to be horrible. After that, you get used to it, and you still have the same quality life. If you lose your sense of smell, the likelihood of you committing suicide is, you know, drastically increased. It is an incredibly important sense. I mean, tis not forgotten, but is not really utilized rit and am to the extent you could. And so that is also a bio chemical thing. Anyway, it's just a clue.
