Timer is a great example of fictioning alternative value futures with technology. Rotten tomatoes doesn’t speak too well of it, but I think it’s a great example of experimental design. The only thing different in this world is a product that effects everyone’s lives. 

“Eighty feet long, 39 feet high, with 12-foot wheels, this is the ‘World’s Largest Automobile.’ It has been built for the Studebaker exhibit at the World’s Fair of 1934 in Chicago.Inside is a complete motion picture theatre seating 80 people where the story of the automobile is told, especially the story of the Studebaker automobile.”

Now that’s what I call Industrial Design. Thanks, BERG.

Dude, we won’t have to do anything in the future.

And as to why.. because everything [most] people are projecting for the future is Pictures Under Glass. Because we’re really just hands and eyes, right? Nothing more.

We can sense so much with our bodies that’s haptic.. proprioception ftw!
