@chris__martin Perhaps. But i would point at the possibility that not the science of graphical interfaces is the key point, but the general disconnect between what would be good for humanity and what happens.

I think the disconnect between is and should is too big. Not the graphical interface science is broken, our general motivation to go on is.

The reason i bring this up is that i work in backend, and it generally feels the same. "do something to get the task done", not "do it well".

It's radiating out from everything we do. Technology has its problems, but if you go beyond those, every detail feels the same. Package delivery? Food services? Games, seen as a consumer?

Don't fret. It is not your personal niche that is declining.
