The growing reliance on touchscreen interfaces in vehicles poses significant risks to safety and usability, particularly by diverting the driver’s attention to the UI, increasing cognitive load, and compromising situation awareness. Reintroducing physical controls for critical driving tasks can address these issues by providing intuitive, tactile feedback that supports drivers' ability to perceive, comprehend, and project essential environmental phenomena.

A truly global, sustainable internet will require a hybrid network combining ground-based towers, uncrewed airships, and satellites to balance speed, cost, and environmental impact. To ensure equitable access, these systems should be owned and operated by governments, non-profits, and cooperatives, making connectivity affordable or free for underserved communities—an investment in humanity’s future rather than a corporate-driven commodity.

Solving the climate crisis and saving the world is far more difficult and complex than most of us think. Is it even possible to build an advanced, technological civilization that doesn’t destroy the planet? Can we design a world that is both sustainable and free from preventable human suffering?

New aerospace systems increasingly require robust human factors engineering and interaction design to ensure safety, reliability, and efficiency in complex, high-stakes environments.

Actor-network theory (ANT) can profoundly transform how designers, futurists, and scholars across various disciplines approach the complex web of relationships that define the interactions between people, technology, and the environment.
