"Web Design. The Evolution of the Digital World 1990–Today"
Author: Rob Ford - Publisher: TASCHEN - Available on Amazon
The last three decades have marked an era of technological upheaval as frenetic and groundbreaking as there ever has been. From early desktop computers and mobile phones to virtual reality: the web is now virtually inseparable from all facets of human interaction and daily life. But it wasn’t always funny cat videos and sleek interfaces.
This collection is a visual journey through time, gathering the very earliest examples of what we today take for granted: the first website to use surround sound, the first drag-and-drop navigation, the first page-turn effect, the first website to use seamless video integration, the first viral site, the first parallax website, the first ‘upload-your-face’ website, the first site to incorporate a mobile phone, the first ever YouTube-like “website”, and many more.

"Building Superhumans and Supermachines"
2017 - IDEO interview by Burton Rast
"The meaning of being human might change in our lifetime. We might be super humans by then, and we will have to be very careful, as there is a huge risk of creating new inequalities based on who can afford what extension. There might be incredible innovations in brain-computer interactions, connecting us to technology and each other via a collective mind."

FWA Interview
2013 - TheFWA interview by Rob Ford
"A website is a container of digital information that you can access nowadays using a browser and a computer. In 10 years, I think the same information will be more embedded in the real world and more easily accessible in ways that we cannot quite yet imagine."

"It took a few years for the [advertising] industry to take digital seriously. And it’s still a new and evolving field, so the fact that we are not doing it very well yet is not a surprise. Most of the things we see online are created by the industry for the industry; people couldn’t care less. There are only few players and examples where the result is relevant to people. A friend said that what this industry does is often storyelling, not storytelling. I agree."
