When Interfaces Disappear

The best technology is the kind you can't even see. That is the whole point of User Interface

design. Back in the sixties, you had to be a genius typing code into a black terminal

just to open a file. Then the eighties hit, and companies like Apple gave us windows

and icons, changing everything. But now, screens are becoming optional.

We are moving to Voice User Interfaces like Alexa where you just speak, and Gesture interfaces

where a simple hand wave controls your reality. The ultimate goal isn't to make pretty

buttons anymore. It is to make the interface disappear so you can just get things done

without thinking.
