When designing for a different generation/ the futer there is alot to thing about/consider. As humans we can learn from our mistakes, but sometimes mistakes can come back and be the new thing, but learning and reusing itis the key. Things to think about when designing for the future we need to think about alot of things, personas, target audience, demographics, etc. Getting into the shoes of who your designing for/really knowing know this will be appealing to is a HUGE part of the process. Without it you might as well be designing no one because it wont work.
Another factor into designing for the future is to remember what it was like back in the day. Generations have huge gaps in different technology and learning curves. All over the world we have families with different tech knowledges within the same household. Billy can have a xbox and a iphone where he can connect the two so that he can send files to and from between the two, while Mom still needs help opening firefox and printing a document. Trying to teach other generations tech stuff can be like learning another language for them because for us weve had it for so long, so to them its like learning to run before you walk. When we are parents I believe it will be easier for us to adjust to it unlike our parents, but there will be things that will fly over our heads just like it does to us.
