Intention

I made my video because I wanted to iterate on my original intention.  I felt that my previous video didn't capture the feeling that I had set out to achieve, which was a simple, perhaps funny or exciting look into an aspect of science fiction that has influenced modern culture.  By focusing on user interfaces (UIs) specifically in this iteration, I wanted to highlight the importance of user interface design.  Over the years, UIs in Sci-Fi have evolved from knobs and levers and readouts to keyboards, touch screens, and heads-up displays, and actual UI design in real life has followed.  This evolution shows the importance of Sci-Fi and how it is both influenced by culture and influences culture.  It plays with our expectations of the future and draws upon our hidden inner ideas of how we should interact with the technology that is such an integral part of our lives, and I wanted to capture that in a single video.
