Designing Discussion

Hi everyone,
Thanks for a great class last night. Here's the start of what i hope will be a reasonably steady stream of articles and postings that help expand your thoughts on design research.

Today, I'm linking to a blog from the Cooper Hewitt school, and a post where the students are critiquing some work by Dunne & Raby.

Check it out, and ask yourselves how you think this works as a review of literature, if that literature is design itself.

"According to Dunne + Raby, critical design is meant to stimulate discussion amongst designers and the public about the social, cultural and moral implications of technology. Since the Industrial Revolution, we have blindly accepted the machine as integral if not essential to our existence. But very few ever stop to consider the potential ramifications of such unyielding faith. We forget that mankind survived hundreds of years without the beloved iPhone."
