We’ll rewind to the early 2000s—when tech was low-tech, playful and non-extractive. Think: loading bars, Tamagotchis and RollerCoaster Tycoon in a cereal box. This talk explores calm, nervous-system-friendly design: attention regulation, slowness as a feature, autonomy-first mechanics, real-world interaction and gentle feedback loops. A call for designers and builders to make tech feel human again.
