Designing Humane Tech

Design a Thriving Future

All of nature uses technology, if that means making things to help beings thrive.  But not all technology helps the earth * its inhabitants to thrive.  This class explores the consequences of our current tech design, and asks us to design so that all beings can thrive on a healthy planet.

This semester we’ll use Permaculture Ethics and Principles as a guide to evaluate and design tech that promotes Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share. We will also put into practice the 12 Permaculture Principles as an eco-literate design guide for creating wealth for planet, people, and communities (but NOT for corporations/AI).
