Lis Hubert discusses the impact of design on user habits and behavior. She notes how internet and smartphone usage has skyrocketed in recent years. Hubert then discusses how design can form addictive habits by triggering unconscious actions through techniques like social approval and fear of missing out. While users are responsible for their own actions, design can also influence behaviors. Hubert suggests some solutions like the Look Up app but asks for the listeners perspectives on how designers can create positive impacts instead of addictive "zombie-like" usage.
