Scale. It's way too small to change society.

Bad taste. Always bad taste.

4 those involved in interactive design,I'd say no drive to understand problems rather than just delivering expected solutions

Opening the circle of community, closing more triangles to ext/build network of collaborators.

thanks! thoughts on how this could be countered? where does responsibility for this lie, with designers/execs/both?

crowdsourcing. The 'undesigned' web. Anything that takes us from controlling the end to controlling the means (if that even).

The saturation of versatile design minded people on the boards of directors, and the CEO's roundtable in all companies.

Ah! is design really an "industry" anymore? that sounds so 90s...the pundits are claiming "design" is the new ether...

Ico_lc_horiz_normal @Icograda International

fear of dissolving boundaries/embracing the bigger community who value design. Can we learn to play well with others?

Design industry has a raft of problems. Namely lack of innovative ideas, vision and courage. NBSB contest is working at it!
