DESCRIPTION
A foundational user experience talk. What if the way that airplanes were designed and how it improved sailing had some deep lessons around the future of user experience? Sailboats improved significantly after the discovery of flight, and mobile design is improving a great deal of user experience as well. How can we think about applying these lessons? What's still missing?

The part about the sailboats and the airplanes.
Mostly the sailboats.

The only rule: our sail is just an airfoil. It can only do what the wind is there for.

Another way to say this is that sails generate lift using the air
that flows around them in the same way as an aircraft wing.

Computational Fluid Dynamics allows the calculation of the lift, drag and centres of effort of
a sailing rig and will inherently account for the complex interaction between sails

While experience with wing sails has been gained in
the smaller c-class wing sail boats, Computational Fluid
Dynamical modelling of wing sails can aid in the
understanding of the complex interaction
between the multi-element rigid wing sails and the conventional flexible
foresail.

• What did we want to do on our phones?
• How did that affect what we put on there?

Our tools matter. Improvements to boats brought us the British Empire. It also brought us colonialism and the conquistadors.

Are we actually doomed? Probably not. I’m just annoyed by the current anti-patterns.
W H AT I T A L L M E A N S
How we use these improvements matters. Are we privileging a certain class of users in our designs?
