I have a solution for the financial crisis, or perhaps at least the work/life-balance crisis!!! Here it is:

While it is nice to discuss wearable technology and the interesting work inspiring my design, I also thought it might be nice to share a little video I made. I’m no expert with this kind of thing, but I think the message is more important than a flashy vid.

When discussing design its easy to get carried away with objects that are state-of-the-art, aesthetically pleasing, ‘cool,’ beautiful, trendy, elite, fashionable, and exclusive. But it’s also important to think critically about design, and to evaluate what makes ‘good’ design, and what makes valuable design. Designed obsolescence plays a big role in some of the problems on our planet right now. Next time you see a flashy new design, try to think about whether it provides any benefit to us in some way.

Thanks for checking it out!!!
