Sense and Sensibility: the future of making things.
1.
Sense & Sensibility: The
future of making things @iotwatch alex@designswarm.com
2.
First UK distributor
of the Arduino (2007-2010) Product & interaction designer Founder Good Night Lamp & consultant designswarm
3.
NB: I know
as much as you do about the future. I know nothing about how you live.
4.
5.
Nations are rarely
islands. Everyone has a neighbour.
6.
‘Making’ is not
an island, isolated from the pressures of capitalism and consumerism.
7.
It leads to
consumerism
8.
It is hiding
behind a story of education and development.
9.
It is hiding
behind crowdfunding and investment.
10.
It is hiding
behind a story of invention.
11.
And it doesn’t
always work.
12.
Or worse.
13.
So where does
making belong?
14.
Where politicians won’t
go.
15.
For conservation of
the few.
16.
Where open means
opening up a closed slow market.
17.
Because we have
the power of ideas, we need to be careful about where we bring them to life.
18.
What is the
role of the city?
19.
Engage and educate
citizens.
20.
Get corporations to
be better citizens.
21.
Financially support making
small, open things.
22.
Build new visions
for the future.
23.
Support making small,
open things.
24.
Thank you. @iotwatch alex@designswarm.com
