Show notes
We are constantly simplifying the world around us and the people within it. This is a perfectly understandable reaction to the messy things we have to work with. But with every step back we are building a wall between the user and what it is to be human. We talk to Alastair about human centred design. How to use your senses and perception and take in the world around you.
“If you reduce humans to only being users then you remove large swathes of what it is to be human… the world of what it is to be human is vast and we really need to properly consider our humanity”
(Listening time: 33 minutes)
