Episode 13 - Apple Vision Pro - a vision that must die.

Thursday, September 7, 2023 • Duration 22:47

I hope that Apple Vision Pro will fail. It has to. And I say that as one of its biggest fans.
For decades, Apple and other tech companies have been in a race for resources: money and attention. This time, with a new way to capture our most important resource - attention.

My argument is simple: This device must fail for us to get a chance at better managing our time spent around screens.

We've got the screens strapped to our hands; we are taking our phones everywhere.
We use them to find meaning, fall in love, break things up, connect to strangers, and disconnect from reality.
We pay attention to screens when we work, travel/drive, cook, and exercise; we even use them when we are supposed to relax, meditate or fall asleep.

This new proposal is to strap a screen to our head.
Let that sink for a minute.
The ultimate proposition from Apple is to give up reality altogether and surrender 100% of our attention in exchange for an illusion.
It is an illusion designed well in a context where relationships fail at a crazy rate, and productivity is the only metric attached to a career. In a context where loneliness is a pandemic, we have become unable to manage our attention and boredom.

Episode 12 - The perfect storm.

Friday, August 18, 2023 • Duration 27:18

Generative AI technology seems to be used in some seriously messed up ways. Unfortunately, there's been a rise in the creation of explicit/pornographic content (including depictions of minors) with the help of these new tools.

Yeah, I know, it's disturbing. The worst part? This content is out there and accessible for free, so it can quickly spread like wildfire.

This episode is an attempt to ask an important question:

Do we even care if the content we consume has been faked?

Will anyone care if the image or the video is stimulating enough or serves their bias?

I'm asking this because most people (especially older people) with access to the internet have yet to develop a concept or appreciation for privacy or a source of information. It is not their fault—there was no educational phase before they either inherited your old Android phone or a cracked-screen iPhone.

Episode 3 - The age of shredded attention

Season 1 · Episode 3

Friday, February 28, 2020 • Duration 31:52

Today, attention is one of the hottest products on the market, in addition to data. Our attention is exploited in ways we would find ridiculous only a decade ago. I don't bring too much news to the table; most of you know this fact. Most of you choose to do nothing because you don't understand the effects. And this is normal. None of us was prepared for this. The first step in getting to this type of resource for any company interested in your attention is building a habit that starts with teaching you a pattern. To teach you a habit, most platforms offer a random incentive - quick rewards for micro-interactions - post a photo, receive (maybe) likes, leave a comment, (maybe)someone (sometimes) will answer. A byproduct of this interaction is the fear of missing out - a great motivator for most of us. The fact that the random reward is in place makes everyone constantly check for the red badge that announces that someone cares for you. It is time to rise above this. In small steps the first step is to understand that your attention is being exploited.

Pay attention to your habits because someone already does.

Episode 2 - The case against personas in Digital Design

Season 1 · Episode 2

Tuesday, February 25, 2020 • Duration 16:39

The way we use personas in digital design has proven to be not only inefficient but also dangerous. This conversation is a case against this practice. We (as designers) know better and must update the standard of our design processes. As usual, this is just the beginning of the conversation. I will get back to you with help. Enjoy!

Episode 1 - Let's talk about responsibility in Digital Design

Season 1 · Episode 1

Sunday, February 23, 2020 • Duration 12:24

We are lucky; there are few important voices out there who worry about ethics in technology. This episode is about our responsibility as designers and barely scratches the surface of this heavy subject, so I promise I will be back with help. Enjoy!

Episode 10 - Requiem for Persona

Season 1 · Episode 10

Saturday, May 29, 2021 • Duration 14:31

If you are quiet and pay attention, you can hear the funeral march in the distance.

I wrote on this topic before. You can read it on my Medium channel. It was long and probably boring, and most people never read the end of it. So I decided to publish it in a different format because some things have changed in my head and also just to piss off a few people.

For those who aren’t patient enough, I tell you the end of it. The persona used today is dead weight. A corpse pulls all projects from the centre down to the unknown. I'm referring to one of the most interesting experiences done in a while—learn more about it by searching Alexander Nix at Concordia. Enjoy!

Episode 9 - The new normal. The future of work and collaborations.

Season 1 · Episode 9

Thursday, April 16, 2020 • Duration 21:05

The actual context (the lockdown) is creating the opportunity for change. One important aspect is work. We can't return to the old normal; we must explore new ways of large-scale and long-term collaboration. Excessive commutes, open-plan offices, and endless meetings are the worst enemies of our attention and productivity. Let's keep the conversation going and do something about it. I plan to do my part.

Episode 8 - By managing expectations you consolidate a brand. A short story about Monzo Bank

Season 1 · Episode 8

Friday, March 27, 2020 • Duration 27:28

I love Monzo, but Monzo needs to mature soon. If they keep growing but forget about the relevant details, they will end up in the same place as the monsters they challenged in the first place. This episode is about managing expectations, being transparent, and being helpful so you build the right kind of brand—a brand you can rely on when the s**t hits the fan. Enjoy!

Episode 7 - You are never too big to fail. Two lessons from DisneyPlus and Slack

Season 1 · Episode 7

Monday, March 23, 2020 • Duration 23:27

As designers, I keep saying that you and I need to learn when we need to be bold and celebrate our victories but also be humble, recognise our mistakes, and learn from them. This episode is about two important design failures from two big companies that hire extraordinary people and completely ignore one sacred basic rule of design—deliver what you promise. When you listen to this, the mistakes will be forgotten by most of their customers, but as designers, we must learn from them.
