Don't do things better, do better things.
Digital technology. It has crept into our lives, and so deeply has it penetrated us, that it has completely redesigned us. In the deep oceans and the high skies, it is now as elemental in our landscape as the wind and falling rain. It's not going to stop.
Due to the way civilisations progress, we are about to zip-line and observe more change in the next ten years, than of the last hundred. But how do we prevent this acceleration from eroding away our humanity? As technology becomes increasingly immaterial, ask this: does the technology we've created add more layers of confusion? When we strip away all the technology, what are we left with? The same thing we started with -- people.
Incorporating the psychological and philosophical fields into the design process, Pete Trainor takes us back to the fundamental questions, that drive us, and through a journey of design thinking, he asks one simple question, the one we have asked through all times... why?

About the Author
Pete Trainor is an author, designer, technologist, accidental polymath and mental health campaigner from London. He talks all over the world on creative and social technologies, data, Ai and the physiological and psychological effects on their audiences.
Over the last three years, Pete has helped to pioneer an entirely new approach to Ai focused products, one that looks at 'self-evolving systems' and 'minimum viable personality' to help solve societal and human issues.
Pete regularly appears in UK national and international press as an analyst on emergent technologies, and tech markets. In 2017 he was voted as one of the 5 most influential people in the British digital industry by Econsultancy.
He has a very simple philosophy: Don't do things better, do better things™.
