We Need to Know Everything about Humans to Design Technology - Episode 1

We need to know everything about humans to design technology. And not vice versa. When looking at the relationship between humans and technology, the focus is often on technology. What is good, what is bad, what works, and what does not? And it's about the interaction, what happens between the two parties. This week and the next, I'll take a closer look at humans. From a very special perspective. I mirror technology and HMIs against the theses of Yuval Noah Harari as he puts them up in his book "A Brief History of Humankind". A 30,000 feet flight through 70,000 years of human history and what it tells us for our future.
