“I had to push the button on and off five times.” – George Jetson
The Jetsons 🚀 promised flying cars and three-hour workdays; we’ll get there, but what we got instead was a world full of buttons—apps, tabs, notifications—begging for one more tap. This recent WSJ article inspired today’s edition; you can find it here.
The opportunity now, I think, isn’t to invent fancier buttons, it’s to remove the ones that quietly exhaust us so we can give our best attention to people, not pop-ups. Maybe the most futuristic thing you can do today is choose one tiny friction to eliminate—one click, one distraction, one pointless task—so there’s a little more room for wonder, focus, and actual human connection. Onward.
