Stuart Langridge – Owner at Kryogenix Consulting, host of Bad Voltage podcast

A talk about bots, and how they shouldn’t pretend to be humans. About how user experience is more than just user interface. About language, and how a word can be worth a thousand pictures. About le mot juste. About where we go next.

The next wave of apps will be text. Amazon Alexa. Facebook Messenger. Telegram and WhatsApp chatbots, Twitter and Mastodon replies. The lion’s share of how a new app experience is perceived has always been intimately tied up with the visual design, even if maybe it shouldn’t always have been… but now, it’s all text. We don’t need artists for this; we need poets. Authors. Wordsmiths. Swap your Wacom for a fountain pen. Language is back.
