A couple of months ago, I shared with my friends how I think apps like Magic and Operator are going to be the next big thing. If you don't know about these apps, what make them special is that they don't use a traditional UI as a mean of interaction. Instead, the entire app revolves around a single messaging screen. These are called'Invisible' and'Conversational' apps, and since my initial post, a slew of similar apps came to market. Even as of writing this, Facebook is releasing M, a personal assistant that's integrated with Messenger to help you do about anything.

The new paradigm of design calls for "design of artifacts, environments and systems" that respond to our thoughts, voices, movements and glances. The field of Interaction Design was realized to help understand how humans will interact and operate on computers. This has now led to everything being crunched into a rectangle screen and a central unit empowered to compute, creating self-knit personalities. Zero UI might remove this disconnect between humans, maintaining the human-computer interaction. These words of Don Norman have been adapted in many designs, the most commercial products of such kind being personal assistants like Alexa and Echo. These devices are trained to anticipate user needs.
