Tim Brown urges designers to think big
www.ted.com Tim Brown says the design profession is preoccupied with creating nifty, fashionable objects — even as pressing questions like clean water access show it has a bigger role to play. He calls for a shift to local, collaborative, participatory “design thinking.”TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the “Sixth Sense” wearable tech, and “Lost” producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts.

As an active designer and degreed engineer, I found this very stimulating and not at all blah-blah-blah. I believe this is an important movement–perhaps as important as the movement towards user experience designing. I hope those who watch this realize these aren’t buzz words, but specific thought process methodologies as important and defined as “the scientific method”.
this guy knows the secret to talking about absolutely nothing but fooling everyone hearing to thinking that it’s something.
wtf is this guy talking about?
blah blah blah mr. fancy words
@funnyguise You sir are a stereotype.

The most fundamental question of all:

What is the underlying law of nature.

As the way of all things, what effect do you suppose its question, knowledge, understanding and application by billions of persons would have on the state of global economics, science, the humanities, education, government and business?
from CH4 – i thought it’s BBC… maybe not
Just to be correct here: that swindle show wasn’t broadcasted by the BBC but Channel 4.

yes, he is comparing things that cant be compared in that way.
i think its strange that he’s comparing an engineer with a modern industrial/graphic designer…
not quite a smart idea comparing electric water boiler and a railway. not all design can be shoved into the same sack, especially not in this way.. maybe i misunderstood, though.
comparing big objects with thinking big is a bit too naive. maybe it meant those objects that we see/use/buy daily, but even those that are “a tool of consumerism” are still needed, quite desirable and important. there was e.g. a pen and sunglasses on the slide – not important? maybe not the matter of life and death, but certainly very important, when it comes to human centered design. could be just a bad choice for the slide..
no…
