Speculative design: Solving the challenges of future societies

Wouldn’t you like to break away from your day-to-day way of thinking and known patterns? You can do so with Speculative Design Thinking. This method looks to the future rather than to today and goes beyond individual user experiences. It focuses on future societies and how we can help them. With challenges and questions like ‘What if we lived in a world without screens? How would we assist our users then?’ By speculating about these kind of scenario’s we broaden our horizon and start to think differently about problem-solving. We go beyond traditional Design Thinking and trigger our imagination much more, which ultimately helps us solve the challenges of the future instead of today.
