Design fiction, sounds fun, interesting. It is clear that the most important aspect of this process is speculation. Imagining  what things could be like, what could happen, what we could do. Does this mean sci-fi things become less fictional as time goes on, as our world looks more similar to theirs over time? I wonder, how far it can go? It seems we will keep imagining and inventing things, but will there ever be a time when we are so advanced, it will become more and more difficult to impress people in design fiction. I mean, who would be impressed now at a device that can call anyone in the world, not many people, considering we have already invented it, but there was a time when it seemed impossible. How long will it be until we are unable to say ‘hey wouldn’t it be awesome if we could do this?’ It would be difficult to think about what more we can come up with once we live in a world like The Jetsons or something, but I suppose I have to assume we will never stop needing stuff, and thus, never stop inventing. Still, it seems like this would have to be finite….But that is definitely a tangent thought I had.

The actual reading is rather straightforward I found, just expanding on the idea of imagining and speculating being a big part of design, as well as testing out creations in fictional space.
