Technological advancement is inseparable from human development. Since the earliest periods of the Anthropocene humans have explored how to give shape to their natural environment through the creation of artefacts. This is a process that is ongoing and unstoppable; it is what humans do, with increasing effectiveness and efficiency. Nowadays, technological development is awe-inspiring: computation is mind-blowingly powerful yet increasingly small, the whole world has turned into one big, networked environment, we manipulate materials at atomic levels to endow them with specific qualities, and so much more. However, how do we make sure that these emerging technologies actually fit into the lives of real people? How do we make sure that they are adopted, blending seamlessly into our everyday world? How do we prevent “Future Shock”? In this talk we look at design examples that take a social perspective on these technologies; examples that explore the sweet spot between technology push and market pull by focusing on the everyday human side of designing with these promising new technologies.| Periode | 31 okt. 2021 |
