An intro to "Designing Culture" newsletter.
Join me on a journey to discover how technology has changed our human cultures.
Technology fascinates me as much as it terrified me. It has undoubtedly improved our lives in many ways in the past few decades, but at the same time, it has made a huge impact on our human cultures—from the way we socialize online, the rise of consumerism and its impact to our environment, to how we consume information and receive education.
As a product designer, my job is not only to create viable, usable and feasible products that can improve people’s user experiences, but also to create cultural impacts that could influence the way people think, do and interact with one another.
It’s hard to quantify how much our cultures have shifted positively or negatively because of the emergence of technology. However, there are metrics we could use to help us understand why we behave differently than we did before, and have discourses about how our cultures have changed from all aspects so we don’t stay in our siloed points of views.
There are so many questions that I can’t wait to uncover, so if you’re as interested in learning how technology has impacted our human cultures, join me for the ride.
