Abstract

This paper analyzes both the technical and emotional dimensions of technology through the starfish metaphor. The regenerative and adaptive abilities of starfish parallel the sustainability of technology and its integration into human life. The study emphasizes that technology should focus not only on functionality but also on user experience and emotional interactions. Additionally, it explores the relationship between technology and humans through concepts such as human-centered design, artificial intelligence, and biomimicry. The paper presents insights into how technology can become more organic, adaptive, and human-friendly in the future.
