We forget that technology even at its most useful can be alien, unnatural and awkward. Under the illusion that technology serves us, we overlook that what technology really does is train us: to tap awkwardly placed buttons, turn dials, pull levers, swipe, and flick switches. With each new interface, we learn a new language to tell our technology what to do. In the process, we lose another shred of our humanity.

But what if instead of us conforming to technology, technology conformed to us? What if, in the future, technology was truly intuitive?
