Connecting the world a Microsoft documentary

February 14, 2013

This video documentary by Microsoft explores how digital and specifically, Interaction Design, is and will change our lives in an ever connect world. It’s 18 minutes long but well worth a watch. I thought I’d paraphrase a few of the most thought provoking comments from the documentary below:

“‘Without humans there’s nothing interesting to talk about.”

“We are in the phase where we are a little confused about what’s important in life.”

“It’s about understanding that ecosystem where the human is at the centre.”

“It’s about getting more of the physical world connected with the digital world.”

“What we design as a man-made object is only complete when there are people using it”

We’re still teaching our kids using a 20th-century paradigm, but many visionaries–like the ones in this video–have plans to take our advances in computing and technology and use them to explode the idea of what education can be.
