I believe the next great frontier of human endeavour relates to how we understand ourselves and each other, and use that understanding to dramatically improve the quality of the world and our lives.
Interaction designers should be centrallyfocused on these opportunities.
The rest of my life will be spent contributing to these solutions.

Why do we know the geologic make-up of other planets, but do not have the tools to sustain good relationships?
Why do we study sciences we will never use, but do not take courses about
understanding the self and the other?
Why are at least four world powers planning trips to Mars, when we have gaping disparities between our citizens?
Why do we invest so much in technologies to add to the quantity of our lives, while
essentially ignoring the quality of our lives?

Interaction designers should lead this future.
• Make being a “user expert” core to your professional identity
• Gain at least a survey level understanding of major fields
• Deep dive into something, and keep learning
