Design trends of tomorrow
No more blinding white light. Screens are now big and crisp. Our attention on them long enough that our hard-working retinas deserve some ease along with their aesthetic pleasure

Evolution
CEEFAX
23 September 1974
See Facts. No more waiting for news at six. Read the latest headlines on sports, weather, stock prices, and breaking news any time!
Similar to live feeds on news websites today, Ceefax created a kind of browsing similar to pages of a newspaper, the difference being news was in real-time, and the browsing habits determined which stories would be told on TV news at six.
The dark background was necessary for old TVs since CTR was not capable of lighting the entire screen at once (think of the black lines on TV shows on CTR TVs).
Lithium batteries
1991
In the beginning, batteries (and therefore cellphones) were like bricks. Phone sizes have since become sleek. However, the battery life of such thin devices has been appalling. Energy needs to be saved wherever possible. A screen using as little light as possible has encouraged the adoption of dark mode.
Tesla App
11 April 2020
Dark Neumorphism is being adopted by companies signalling new technologies, such as bitcoin, financial firm apps, and car manufacturers such as Tesla.
Clearly, this style is seen as a futuristic look, making this trend gain traction today since, as always, the future is now.
