Description
Your phone lies face down on the bar and has just vibrated. The person on the microphone knows exactly what your thumb wants to do and why. Big Questions Cool Drinks is a bar lecture where a behavioural researcher traces the design decisions that turn a free app into a daily habit. Dopamine loops, variable rewards, endless scrolling, dark patterns. Then the Q&A begins, and the audience decides for itself what it actually wants to ask. No one asks you to put your phone away.
