Bek Hodgson — Designing for Participation

Amy Hoy — Double click to edit
Watch out, there's a plague afoot! A plague of what, you ask? A plague of same-y-ness! Blogs, apps, sites—they all look the same. The web has become a place of templates rather than innovation. That means big wins are available for he and she who would dare to break the mould.

The target of higher GDP per capita is all wrong. Aiming for it encourages more production and consumption, often at the expense of quality of life. We need to construct a Genuine Progress Index (GPI) to guide policy. Fr …
