D igital technologies have become an end unto themselves. Today, mastering and keeping up with the latest tools matters more than creating programs and output that enhance the lives of users. John Maeda advocates a people‐centered approach to technology and digital design education. He critiques current problems and presents case studies to challenge teachers and designers to be more creative and to move in richer, more‐humane directions.
