Picture a world where Amazon.com is a factory. Products are made in small quantities, as needed, based on direct input from users to designers and developers. Consumption directly drives product creation, and data informs design. Consumer products are made locally, with local materials and workers, while at the same time using design and engineering talent from anywhere on earth. It simultaneously looks exactly like our world, but is totally different. It's almost here, and you know more about it than anyone else.

Mike Kuniavsky is a user experience designer focused on ubiquitous computing. He co-founded Adaptive Path, an influential design firm, and ThingM, a micro-OEM. His books on design research ("Observing the User Experience") and the design of novel computing devices ("Smart Things") are widely used as university textbooks. He founded and hosts the annual Sketching in Hardware summit on tools for interaction design with digital hardware.
