You can take it as a manifesto if you like
So far our current applied research frameworks (human centric design research to be precise) are geared towards problems those arise from current application frameworks and new similar propositions with present day constraints. Although they take into consideration a person's lifestyle and their different conditions, it falls in short to really address for something's implications that doesn't properly exist yet*.
The danger of such practice is that: Although we are sometimes familiar with the technological advents(technology has very less surprises in it's path and is very predictive), when we go out to find something's future state, we start driving our principles and values with a POV of features.
Doing so we risk ourselves in landing into tough situations for coming up with clear necessities and reasonable ideas that doesn't sound like a gimmick.
