"Fake it until you make it."

Someone will probably say this. 

Well, the job we are doing as "young designers" doesn't mean we will be like this all our lives.

When I started studying UX&UI, my goal was not to study where to put the right button and why. My goal was to study usability. If you give me a laundry machine or a microwave, I should be able to design it. So?

  If you enjoy designing cards for e-commerce and that's enough for you, fine, this post is not for you. I want as well; I really do, if I think that the product in eCommerce can improve the life of someone. But? But that's just a little usability practice for designing something different in the future. 

 Not cause is a starting point and I want to do something better, but only cause we should think that interfaces will be different soon. Maybe an AI will design better cards and buttons, or perhaps just new interfaces will come out, and we have to design them. I want to design them. 

Maybe you will think about usability in AR and VR, correct, but there is some other usability that will be more related to our senses than we think. And I think, as product and Usability designers, we should be involved in the project. The usability of Vocal AI (more in general of smart speakers) is something that is already on, where designers, linguistics, and psychologies collaborate to create a good experience. But based on the Nielson Norman analysis, the usability of those devices is still terrible, even after 10 years of researches. 

 This is the top of the iceberg. In my career, I want to study and design interfaces for self-driving vehicles, interfaces for space travel, VR, AR, and interfaces for the brain.

Yes, interfaces for the brain. 

 I'm not a fan of the future in which we will be connected to an AI, and we will be mixed with her, but chips for the brains are here, and, if, as a designer, I can help an Alzheimer's patient to remember something through the use of my usability knowledge, I feel like I should do it. 

 I enjoy designing apps and websites; I really do; maybe I will stop, maybe I will change career, inside or outside communication, I've no idea. For sure, I'm practicing now with the usability website for when our sons will be on an Astro ship in space or a dementia patient have to interact with the device. The red button is a famous cause in energy; you should understand its function and its visibility. Well, the red button of the next generation of designers is not part of the material design system, but it's going to be the red button to escape from a mentally ill situation, and it has to be clear. No neumorphism design.
