We're filling up the world with technology and devices, but we've lost sight of an important question: What is this stuff for? What value does it add to our lives? So asks author John Thackara in his new book, In the Bubble: Designing for a Complex World.<br /> <br /> These are tough questions for the pushers of technology to answer. Our economic system is centered on technology, so it would be no small matter if "tech" ceased to be an end-in-itself in our daily lives.<br /> <br /> Technology is not going to go away, but the time to discuss the end it will serve is before we deploy it, not after. We need to ask what purpose will be served by the broadband communications, smart materials, wearable computing, and connected appliances that we're unleashing upon the world. We need to ask what impact all this stuff will have on our daily lives. Who will look after it, and how?<br /> <br /> In the Bubble is about a world based less on stuff and more on people. Thackara describes a transformation that is taking place now -- not in a remote science fiction future; it's not about, as he puts it, "the schlock of the new" but about radical innovation already emerging in daily life. We are regaining respect for what people can do that technology can't. In the Bubble describes services designed to help people carry out daily activities in new ways. Many of these services involve technology -- ranging from body implants to wide-bodied jets. But objects and systems play a supporting role in a people-centered world. The design focus is on services, not things. And new principles -- above all, lightness -- inform the way these services are designed and used. At the heart of In the Bubble is a belief, informed by a wealth of real-world examples, that ethics and responsibility can inform design decisions without impeding social and technical innovation.

對設計師,我覺得這本書應該是必讀書,或者任何purpose-oriented的專業的人。 至少能讓設計師開眼,這個很重要,雖然你不一定會去/有機會/有興趣去做這些事。 這本書幾乎是近來設計新思潮的集閤, 從buchanan上世紀提到的設計4部麯,最後那個是system, 到Klaus提到的要design di...

讀研之前的那個暑假,係主任甩過來一個書單,特彆強調這本是必讀的。設計師並不能隻是設計美美的外觀,還需要考慮整個係統設計呢。係主任還特邀John Thackara Skype指導過我的thesis,感恩那次機會。
