What is it about Corning’s vision for our future that makes me so uncomfortable?
These two videos outline Corning’s vision for our future.
Original video:
Companion video describing the technology in greater detail:
It’s all very impressive, but I find myself questioning if this is the future we want. Where is the sensory stimulation in this utopia? It’s all so slick, so sterile. And there’s so much glass, which has never resonated with me as a very human material. Glass seems fundamentally alien, whereas wood, stone and metal strike me as being…real?
It puts me in mind of Bret Victor’s anguished cry about Pictures Under Glass.

Curious about cities, patterns, design, and marginalia. I use the word 'narrative' a lot. Emmanuel is Ghanaian, and a long way from home. Nice to meet you. (@equartey, Pinterest, email, ask)
