How Designers Destroyed The World

Webstock ’13: Mike Monteiro – How Designers Destroyed the World from Webstock on Vimeo.

You are directly responsible for what you put into the world. Yet every day designers all over the world work on projects without giving any thought or consideration to the impact that work has on the world around them. This needs to change.

I think that it is so important for any organization or company that creates applications or tools that millions use to be responsible and accountable. Without clear and passionate thought, bad design has real world consequences that affects human beings.
