The chapters that we had to read about were where is design heading next and summarizes some of the ideas that they have throughout the reading. When I think of technology, I think of South Korea because my family is from there and it's just so crazy to know how much they have advanced within the past 40 years. Geographically, South Korea has no natural resources so they were assumed to be doomed economically but to know that their technology was such a success mind boggles me. As a designer, competing with technology with creativity is going to become harder in the future. Many people think that technology will overtake the design and creativity mind of it and who knows if technology gets too smart and thinks for itself. Are we going to program technology to be able to think for itself? It was always in our society that we had to adapt to technology and that's how we are shaped as a civilization. But I wonder how efficient our technology will be, will it be resourceful, harmful, beneficial? I'm all about designs and technology that will help our environment get better -- and I know the main purpose for technology is to make human life easier, but it should help us in a better way, not make us lazy and let something like technology do everything for us.
