Senior Presentation

This was my five minute presentation at the end of the Fall semester. In it, I outline some of my journey in design, where I am right now and where I'm headed in the future. The sound is not great but there are notes to follow taken down in the q&a afterward.

Why should we slow down? Is it for our own well being?
The promise of technology to deliver help to our lives when really it just gives us a whole host of new things to do.
How can design create slowness?
Over break maybe design some exercises to slow people down, little scenarios to change pace as a learning opportunity.
Can you tie it to health? Spend time with your dog?
What do people already do to slow themselves down?
Is there a way people can share their experiences with others?
Humorous way-finding to give your life direction.
Book or movie to inspire you to slow down and go to your happy place. It's kinda like your own screensaver.
Focus on doing one thing well.
Is there a novelty of doing things slow?
15 year olds are used to the rush!
Who is the audience?
How can you enjoy doing things fast?
This is more than a vacation, can we therefore integrate rather than escape?
