On Monday September 16, our friends at ChangingAging are supporting the 3rd annual Seattle Design Festival where Kavan Peterson, editor at www.ChangingAging.org, will be moderating a panel discussion entitled, “Enlivening Design For Aging,” on the role of design in enabling or compromising our ability to thrive across the lifespan.
Kavan says, “We’re taking a big picture approach and tackling diverse design issues ranging from technology, products and services to re-imagining environments and communities for aging to re-designing the human lifespan.” Read more here and take a look at the video below of Craig Ferguson explaining “why everything sucks.”
As Kavan points out, “Ferguson deftly and succinctly skewers our culture for its obsession with youth and what I’d call inanity — stupidity in the context of being silly and irrelevant. The way our culture views and treats age is silly and irrelevant. And in turn the way we design, market and sell products and content is silly and irrelevant.”
