The difficulty of changing different levels in Pace Layers

Pace Layers divides a system into changeable layers, meaning that changes to some layers will impact the design in the long run. For example, culture and people’s habits change slowly, thus influencing the long-term direction of design. This includes people’s lifestyles, including their perceptions of product use and communication habits. This means that user interface styles need to change rapidly to keep pace with the times.

Interestingly, societal culture determines whether people are willing to accept certain design changes, such as privacy tracking in applications. This type of change requires a long time to implement, and designers need to adapt gradually.
