ingenious creators are side-stepping the limitations of fixed form, function, or expression in favor of something more flexible and adaptive
Every year, it seems that our lives are becoming increasingly complex and dynamic, as new pressures and expectations challenge us to continually pivot between different modes of being. As a result, we require more and more flexibility from the objects, services, and experiences we encounter everyday; to smooth the transitions between different activities, behaviors, and moods.
Forward-looking creators are leaning into this thirst for versatility, breaking down boundaries that limited us in the past and pushing forward a vision of the world in which our tools and toys are all uncompromisingly adjustable to changing needs.
And these adjustments can be either FLEXIBLE (easy to change through human intervention) or ADAPTIVE (sensing and responding automatically).
