Rediscovering Neil Postman

Rediscovering Neil Postman

Things you should do this weekend:

1. Watch Neil Postman’s lecture filmed at Calvin College in 1998…how awesome is that?
2. Read his critique of moving pictures.
3. Add him to your list of favorite people.

Hi: A real Human interface

Hi: A real Human interface

 

“Hi” is by Multitouch Barcelona, a design group dedicated to the communication and interaction of people and technology. The reality of life is that we are people who interact with technology everyday. We are particularly fond of Multitouch’s visual approach to this day-to-day interaction. Multitouch is also in relation with Suprb (Andreas Pihlstrom of Stockholm), a graphic designer producing clean work and typography.

There are always people behind the technology we use, sometimes, quite literally.

Herman Miller Embody

Herman Miller Embody

Made from 42% recyclable materials.

95% recyclable after its lifetime.

Produced in a Herman Miller facility that runs on 100% renewable energy and generates an average of 77lbs of landfill in a month (enough to fill a large trash can).

Beautiful.  I hope they make enough off it to rethink laying off 400 people in our community.
