Designing for Machines, Not Humans

In a world increasingly dominated by automation, artificial intelligence, and interconnected systems, a new design philosophy is emerging—designing for machines, not humans. This might sound counterintuitive at first. After all, technology is created to serve people, right? Yet, as machines become both the creators and users of digital products, the design focus is shifting in […]

The Ghosts in Your GPU

When you think about your GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), what comes to mind? Lightning-fast rendering, realistic game visuals, or maybe complex computations for AI? But lurking beneath the silicon and circuits is a less obvious presence—the ghosts in your GPU. No, this isn’t a supernatural tale. These “ghosts” are the unseen traces, artifacts, and behaviors […]

Why Your Gadgets Are Getting Greedy

Remember when your phone just made calls and sent texts? Or when your laptop didn’t need daily updates and a background symphony of processes just to open a document? Today, even the simplest devices seem hungrier than ever—for power, data, and your attention. Your gadgets aren’t just getting smarter. They’re also getting greedier. The Rise […]

Rewilding the Internet

The internet was once a sprawling wilderness—messy, unpredictable, and wildly creative. Early users roamed free across homemade websites, obscure forums, and quirky online communities. But over time, this digital landscape has been cleared, fenced, and domesticated. Now, the web feels more like a shopping mall than a forest: optimized, sanitized, and controlled by a handful […]

The Physics of Presence in Mixed Reality

Mixed Reality (MR)—the blend of the physical and digital worlds—isn’t just a technological novelty. It’s a profound reengineering of how we perceive space, objects, and ourselves. At its heart lies an elusive goal: achieving presence—the feeling that what’s virtual is, in fact, real. But presence isn’t magic. It’s built on rules, illusions, and the physics […]

Why Your AI Assistant Hates Mondays

We’ve all said it: “Ugh, it’s Monday.” The coffee tastes weaker, the to-do list feels heavier, and even our tech seems a little slower to cooperate. But what if your AI assistant shared your dread? Not because it’s tired or resentful—but because it’s starting to mirror human patterns, including emotional rhythms. In the age of […]

The Evolution of Error Messages

In the beginning, computers didn’t care much about how they spoke to us. If something went wrong, you’d get a cold, cryptic line of text—like «ERROR 0x80004005″—with no clue what to do next. But over time, as technology became more user-centered, error messages evolved from technical roadblocks into essential pieces of user experience. This article […]

When Files Grow Feelings

In a world where artificial intelligence is embedded into everything from fridges to cars, it’s no longer far-fetched to imagine a future where your digital files not only store data—but experience emotion. As strange as it sounds, the idea of files growing feelings opens the door to profound philosophical, ethical, and technical questions about the […]

Virtual Gravity and Other VR Illusiond

Virtual Reality (VR) is more than just a headset and a digital environment—it’s a trick of the senses. To convince the brain it’s somewhere else, VR must simulate not only what we see and hear, but also what we feel. Among the most fascinating feats in this immersive world is the simulation of gravity—an invisible […]

How Biohacking Left the Basement

Once dismissed as the domain of eccentric tinkerers working in cluttered garages and dimly lit basements, biohacking has rapidly evolved into a legitimate—and often controversial—movement shaping the future of human health and enhancement. From DIY biology to corporate-funded longevity research, biohacking is no longer fringe. It’s gone mainstream. What Is Biohacking? Biohacking broadly refers to […]
