And now I come to the close — the coda — of this five-part article on our evolving relationship with machines. In part one, I looked at the movie Her, presenting it as a contemporary take on the man-and-machine theme. Back in the 70s, it was “man versus machine.”
Today, we are so attached to machines that we fear losing them, like lovers. In part two, I looked at the emerging set of tools that the creators of products and services now have to “design for emotion.” In part three, I looked at how these new tools are being used in the offline world to create meaningful and powerful experiences. Then, in part four, I reflected on the deliberate response of some folks to use technology to bring people back to the world of physical experience.
