As the sun sets on one phase of our digital lives, what warmth remains?
What aspects of our identity, agency, and belief endure—and what have we silently surrendered?

In this evocative keynote, Joe Macleod explores how the end of digital experiences often feels ambiguous, with a sense of closure lost. Drawing on rituals, design strategies, and human tendencies for meaning-making, he asks: what happens when we lose the ability to say “enough”? Highlighting cases from smart tech to embedded medical devices, Macleod shows how reclaiming endings is essential to a more human-centred future.
