One over-arching theme in all of my classes this semester is designing responsibly. In Sourcemap, we focus on where things come from, in Physical Computing we talk about where things are going, and in my Major Studio we were charged with thinking about our impact on the world both as people and designers.

We watched this video for PComp, but it provides food for thought in all of my classes, and in my life.

An interesting article that I read this week talks about where our plastic goes once we consider it junk and throw it away. This article came out in 2007, yet we don’t seem to be caring so much about the problem today.

Both of these examples give me inspiration to solve these problems, but they are massive problems that can only be solved by mass behavioral change in our world.
