We shape our tools and our tools shape us.” As more of the tools we live with every day become digital instead of physical, our opportunity – and responsibility – as designers is multiplying. We live in a world of screens, and we are the ones who decide what goes on them. We are in a unique position to have an impact – one that lasts longer than the next redesign or the latest technology. What happens when we stop thinking of ourselves not just as developers or experience designers, and take up the mantle as a new generation of product designers for a digital world?

    It's not often that one can watch a speech about design and tools and be moved. Nearly to tears. Wilson, this is a thing of beauty and motivation. Thank you for opening up your world and thus opening up ours and our duty and joy.

    Wow. It's rare when I experience anything related to design where I feel the passion of the presenter is comparable or surpasses my own love for being able to shape the world around me. And it's even more rare when a design talk will stir my own heart. This was absolutely wonderful, Wilson. Thank you.

    Thank you.
    It was a great pleasure to see this talk at Build and also watch it again.

    There is one thing I keep thinking about since Build - why this kind of emotion ? Why almost tears?
    Doesn't make sense to be sad after seeing an exceptional talk like this. What kind of tears are these?

    This piece of art should be presented on all academic courses about interactive multimedia. Your passion is evident and that should be demonstrated to every future generation. Amazing production from all involved. Thank you.
