I$\text{'}$d like for you to perform the first stages of the design process on yourself related to a piece of technology. Namely, distill your experiences down to their essence$--$ the good and the bad$--$ and generate a bunch of crazy ideas for how they could be different. Don't worry about realism, practicality, or even how well the idea maps to your user analysis; be generative!

Think of a an app, program, or device that you have a love$-$hate relationship with.

$1.$ Write down an example scenario demonstrating how it has enhanced your life the most.

$2.$ Synthesize the essence of that experience; what are the core features of that experience that are fulfilling and should be preserved or enhanced?

$3.$ Write down an example scenario of where it has negatively impacted you. If you$$ve attempted to work around it$,$ write your strategy. Distill this to a statement about the underlying problem.

$4.$ Is $(3)$ fundamentally tied to $(2)$ is it possible to disentangle them?

$5.$ Envision$/$speculate on three new interfaces that gets you the closest to $(2)$ while avoiding the problems of $(3).$ Is it embodied in the world? Is there a intelligent agent involved? Is something implanted in you? Think crazy! Sketch! Write! Dream!
