A physical computing toolkit for designers
I care about academia
Where are all these students ending up?Are they ending up at IDEO? Smart? Other big organisations?
Are they creating businesses?
Are we creating an industry?Or are we just concentrating on an academic process?
How do we sell this field as having any value on the market?What types of budgets are we targeting?Is this just the cream on top?
Are we supposed to be creating a new type of professional?Or a new set of tools for designers to understandand master if they want to? (like Maya or InDesign)
Random set of questions
Skills for the new century, not crutches
Answer the question you want to answer, not the question that was asked…
