Trends seem to be becoming more and more of a plague within design. With the rise of sites such as Dribbble, Forsst and the likes, these trends are increasingly being reinforced by talented but narrow minded "designers". Why the quotations? Because I'm becoming more and more skeptical about where we draw the line between design and simply making something look pretty.

Lately, I've been not only thinking about how artificial intelligence and computer learning play a roll in todays society, but also how it will affect our future. What stops a machine from knowing what is trendy and aesthetically pleasing to us and then apply that style to a predefined template or wireframe? Would that still be classed as design? And that in turn leads me to question whether a lot of the design we see online today is actually design or just "designers" applying a trending style without thinking about a greater picture. If I have a wireframe and then download a bunch of freebies and apply those styles to that wireframe, is that

Humankind has always had a bit of an obsession with creating a utopian society, not that any have yet come to fruition. A fair number of ideas on how a utopian society could be achieved appear in the form of science fiction novels and other mainstream media. It fascinates me that an apparent trend is forming that links science to the forming of a perfect society, which could imply that it is not in human nature to live harmoniously and prosperously. More importantly perhaps this states that we require some kind of higher being to keep us in balance, whether it be biological or technological. It is interesting to think that there may have been some point where we stopped believing that a philosophical solution was the answer and instead chose to adopt technology to fix flaws in our nature. Is the solution to a utopian society based in creating a technological solution that will keep us on the right path and solve all the problems we have today, or should we listen to the warnings of science fiction and steer c
