‘latest design language’ you are a sucker for anything new. Made for marketeers. Can you even explain what exactly is the latest design language, what is a design language? Does such a thing exist, how often does it change and why does it change.
I once used to translate and write summaries for foreign language design mags. One particular stuck with me and influenced my thinking ever since. It was in Italian and was about the scythe. The design has not changed in two thousand years. It is exactly the same, since it was designed perfectly for its function. The writer pointed out that since, if kept sharp, scythes would last forever, makers of scythes had to find new ways to make people buy. They fiddled with handles, surfaces, scrollwork, engravings, colouring. None could surpass the original. Since it did the job perfectly. You should not confuse the new with the better. Yes, love it if it genuinely improves things but don’t rush to embrace it if all you are seeing are lines and curves. We all bought avocado bathroom suites. The rush to touch screens has brought nothing but accidents as drivers eyes stray. Lane keepers are great unless you drive down a lane and forget to turn it off. I don’t want, as someone said, a tablet glued to the dash.
If you are constantly seduced by whatever is in vogue you need deep pockets since many automotive innovations are, there for one reason, like newer trout flies, often designed to catch anglers, not fish. They exist solely to stimulate sales.
