How and why we design shapes our tools; in turn, those tools shape who we are and who we can become.<\/p><p>The technological revolution has unfolded so quickly that many consequences of our designs were never adequately tested on people, communities, or ecosystems. Today, growing calls for more holistic and healthy design principles challenge creators to align their work with the world they want to help create.<\/p><p>We begin with technology\u2019s effects on people, particularly the human body.

Recognizing these trade-offs is essential to good design and humane technology.<\/p><table class=\"custom-elementor-table\"><thead><tr><th><h4>People Care<\/h4><\/th><th><h4>Fair Share<\/h4><\/th><th><h4>Earth Care<\/h4><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Supports autonomy, attention, health, accessibility, dignity, and meaning.<\/td><td>Asks who participates, who benefits, whose labor and data are used, and who bears risk.<\/td><td>Recognizes the material, energy, water, and infrastructure behind every digital experience.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Does this support human agency and thriving?<\/td><td>Who benefits, participates, or bears costs?<\/td><td>What material and ecological systems does it depend on, and how could harms be reduced or regeneration supported?<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2472535222\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2472535222\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-fff3edd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fff3edd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa8ff1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"aa8ff1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"max-width:1024px\"><div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/embed.ted.com\/talks\/sebastian_deterding_what_your_designs_say_about_you\" width=\"1024px\" height=\"576px\" title=\"What your designs say about you\" style=\"position:absolute;left:0;top:0;width:100%;height:100%\"  frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen onload=\"window.parent.postMessage('iframeLoaded', 'https:\/\/embed.ted.com')\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cce6141 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cce6141\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Values, Agency &amp; Humane Design<\/h2><h3>Core question<\/h3><h6>What values are embedded in the technologies we design, and whose agency do those choices support?<\/h6><h4>Class focus<\/h4><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/eTVVSqIVBug?si=3gJDjIeP7Krl-JL7\">Meta recent $17 B fine<\/a><\/li><li>design as a system of values and choices<\/li><li>agency versus extraction<\/li><li>convenience versus care<\/li><li>AI as tool, system, and design responsibility<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"nmd-assigned\"><h4><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.org\/nmd200\/qsm_quiz\/nmd200-quiz-1\/\">Quiz 1<\/a>:<\/span> (due Thursday 9\/3) \u00a0Assigned readings \/ viewings<\/h4><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/designjustice.org\/read-the-principles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Design Justice Network \u2014 Design Justice Principles<\/a> \u2014 concise values framework<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.org\/nmd200\/ai-for-students\/\">AI for Students<\/a>, UNESCO Summary; \u00a0OR. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.org\/en\/articles\/ai-competency-framework-students\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UNESCO \u2014 AI Competency Framework for Students<\/a> \u2014 skim human-centered mindset and AI ethics sections<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalwellnesslab.org\/articles\/teen-voices-shaping-a-healthier-digital-world-highlights-from-the-digital-wellness-labs-2024-2025-student-advisory-council-presentations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Wellness Lab \u2014 Teen Voices Shaping a Healthier Digital World<\/a> \u2014 youth perspectives<\/li><\/ul><\/div><h4>Design<\/h4><ul><li>Join class Website &amp; create one block-based post.

It depends on physical infrastructure: devices, minerals, factories, networks, data centers, electricity, water, land, and labor. These systems have already caused deep ecological damage. This section asks how digital creators can move beyond reducing harm to help restore the living systems on which all technology\u2014and all life\u2014depends.<\/p><h3>Design progression<\/h3><h6>Economic logic \u2192 commons and alternatives \u2192 material lifecycles \u2192 digital infrastructure \u2192 regenerative futures<b><\/b><\/h6><ul><li>Distinguish growth and engagement metrics from human and ecological goals<\/li><li>Study digital commons, open culture, cooperatives, and reciprocal knowledge systems<\/li><li>Trace device lifecycles, including extraction, manufacturing, repair, reuse, and e-waste<\/li><li>Map the effects of AI and data centers on energy, water, land, labor, and communities<\/li><li>Apply circularity, sufficiency, reciprocity, and regeneration to design<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>All economies operate within ecologies: both organize and distribute natural and human resources.
