Product Panic 09! by Bruce Sterling
"Everything about the way products are conceived, manufactured, and sold has been destabilized. I’d love to claim I’ve never seen anything like this, but since my wife is Yugoslavian, I can’t." - Bruce Sterling
The nature of all things is change.
Why should this be any different?
Difficult times make us reassess how we spend our time and energy.
Painful, but necessary.
Instead of freaking out,
we need to think and act more clearly.
Forget how to survive,
how do we Thrive?!!
All the talk of designers as problem solvers?
Designers solving for needs of society and culture?
Here's our Big chance.
I hope it proves we aren't just good talkers.
