Futurism over Function

When certain features or basic functions present on a new product are changed for the sake of "innovation" with no consideration for practicality.

"It just feels like the thought process was 'well, let's change these designs, because that's what innovators do. And also it will get attention,' without actually improving on the old designs, or thinking about actual problems with the old designs that could be solved.

bacterial futurism

Pessimistic about the future? Bacterial futurism has an answer! We can only get out of this situation by organizing en masse toward a decentralized, ecosocialist future.
