Some folks may know this but the Kerzweil synths where the product of Ray Kerzweil who is responsible for books such as 'The Singularity is Near' that covers what could happen if a technical singularity strikes us (which, depending on you you speak to is between 30years and never). Off topic but his work does add a different dimension to why I do user experience (I don't call myself a designer or use the term design in my title just to result issues with being linked to visual design). My starting point was creating games on a ZX spectrum at a very young age - the days games used to be printed in magazines and you'd type them in. No really that's what we used to do.
