Slides accompanying my 17 (!) minute talk for our CHI 2012 paper 'Questionable Concepts: Critique as a Resource for Designing with Eighty Somethings'. The talk and paper focuses on one of the design methods we used in the Banking for the Older Old project to engage participants in the early stages of idea generation and critique during workshops. Full paper can be access here: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2207676.2208567&coll=DL&dl=GUIDE&CFID=380590099&CFTOKEN=64685270

CRITIQUE
(of
peers,
technology
&
banks)
“If
this
actually
came
to
pass
it
would
be
just
a
way
for
the
banks
and
Jinancial
institutions
to
make
more
money
for
the
“fatcats”
and
the
shareholders
and
to
exploit
the
man
in
the
street”-­‐
Rita,

“that
will
put
your
bank
charges
up!”
–
Agatha,

“are
we
not
to
take
charge
of
anything
ourselves?”

COPING
““hide
it
in
code
among
telephone
numbers
in
my
diary.”
-­‐
Agatha,
81
“I
remember
my
pin
number
and
password
by
association.
If
you
could
draw
an
object
that
reminded
you
of
it,
then
that
too
could
be
deciphered
by
someone.”

CREATIVITY
“I
like
the
idea
on
the
front
of
an
iPad
type
wallet
…
But
you
could
also,
I
feel,
have
a
card
that
you
could
put
into
a
computer
or
a
screen
and
you
would
call
up
your
accounts,
and
see
them.”
