Less Browsing, More Doing: A New Era of Digital Interaction

 

Opera Neon dropped last week, and honestly, it feels like the future just landed. It’s not another browser refresh — it’s an AI-powered assistant actively handling tasks like research, coding, and content creation. This bold move signals a shift in how we might soon expect to work online: less browsing, more doing.

Then there’s Apple’s rumored redesign coming at WWDC 2025. Could we finally see a visionOS-inspired overhaul of the whole Apple ecosystem? If true, it might redefine user interaction — again. Designers, keep an eye on this one; it could be a turning point.

Finally, design is having a playful moment: Brooklyn Film Festival’s fresh rebrand smartly flips the script on screen-time narratives, while Noodle Form is transforming digital screens into whimsical, tactile experiences. The takeaway? The design world isn’t just innovating — it’s actively rediscovering joy.
