(re)design briefs
(re)designing
aim: develop a ‘slow tech’ alternative to this
‘fast’
technology and report back on your design decisions
option 1 email
–
email give instantaneous communication but lacks the craft and care of handwriting
option 2 sat
nav
– sat
nav
gets you somewhere quicker and more efficiently but you lose the sense of achievement of finding your way
option 3 clock – a clock will mean you arrive on time but it might stop you from pausing to reflect

what might be lost when moving to ‘fast’ technologies’?
what
are core values associated with slow technologies?
what
does it mean to conceptualize slowness when it comes to technologies?
what
values are lost?Slide22
