It is interesting to imagine what a “post-digital” world might look like. It would seem that much of the realm of the science-fiction genre might give us an idea of what we imagine or expect to be post-digital, a continuation of the digital form but amplified beyond simply the computer. However, many of those imagined, futuristic, worlds utilize the same types of similar interfaces that we are accustomed to: screens and keyboards, desks and panels with buttons and levers. If we ever reached a post-digtial age, would the interfaces that we use continue to remain constant? It is interesting to question whether the development of technology will be constrained by our pre-conceptions of what the future should/might look like.
