““Our climate is changing. And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not be the result of it, the risk that it might be – given this week’s devastation – should compel all elected leaders to take immediate action.””

The Internet a Decade Later:

“Here is an infographic by Best Education Sites that shows how much the internet has changed over the last 10 years with sections on the growth of the internet, internet usage, the number of websites and more.” At least one inaccuracy (or outdated statistic) is that Internet Explorer is not currently the most popular browser. Chrome has it beat.

What do Designers do?

pmharrington — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:04:10 -0400

A bigger, better future.

Creating a bigger better future is at the very heart of design and this fuels the inner passion of designers to innovate new solutions for their clients.

Like the fire keepers in the age of prehistoric man, designers will continue to be the visualizers of the future. We are the agents of change bringing order from chaos, understanding from ignorance, simplicity from complexity. That’s not changing. Nor is the required success mindset so necessary for the creative imagination to innovate a brighter future.

For the most part, designers are an optimistic lot. Designers have a special gift at seeing better things for people way ahead of the status quo. Designers are possibility thinkers asking the “what-if” questions that drive innovation in our human development as well as the global marketplace. That won’t be changing either.

Regardless of the economy and global circumstances we find ourselves in, there is always going to be a demand to design a vision for a bigger, better future. Designers will be at the epicenter of this activity — leading the way forward.
