This keynote takes you on a provocative journey through the evolution of User Experience, starting with key milestones in UX history before examining today's landscape. We'll explore amusing examples of overly ambitious UX concepts alongside life-saving implementations that demonstrate how essential thoughtful design becomes in truly critical situations.
Looking toward the future, we'll examine why UX is becoming increasingly important – spanning AI interfaces and the ethical questions of human-machine interaction. This talk delivers an entertaining yet profound analysis of why good UX is far more than just "nice to have" and explores the responsibility we carry as designers of our digital world.
Through spectacular failures and inspiring successes, this presentation demonstrates why UX matters more than ever in today's complex technological landscape.
