In the Bubble : Designing in a Complex World: John Thackara

I’m reading this book (Inside the Bubble: Designing in a Complex World) by John Thackara. So far I’m blown away by what he’s writing about. Finding a way to integrate this into my daily life is easier than finding a way to integrate it all into video production and design.

Thackara’s point – that we can do good for our world by integrating “local” and “here” and “now” and “lightness” into how we design everything – becomes clear when you study your interactions on a daily basis.

Many of the trends he recommends are at work currently in our world. In order to sustain our planet and our lives I think we need to work so that technology is a means again, and not the end.
