#slowtofast Ep 11 (p 2) with Golden Krishna, on our obsession with screens, and the antidote
This is the second part of our From Business To Buttons special. We interview Golden Krishna, Design Strategist at Google and the author of the book “The Best Interface is No Interface”. At Google, he works in the Android UX team on shaping the future of the operating system.
“Our love for the digital interface is out of control…and our obsession with it is ruining the future of innovation” — Golden Krishna
Golden is passionate about curing our addiction to screens. In his opinion, screens are the pollution of our generation. He urges us to stop focusing so much on designing for user interfaces.
During this interview, we discuss topics such as:
- Our addiction to apps and “app fatigue”
- The idea of a “screenless” society, just like the notion of the paperless society
- Google Now
- The removal of so-called “digital chores”
- The purpose and issues with chat bots
- The over-saturation of notifications
- A “watch first” design approach
