Design through Disruptive TechnologyInstead of design as an
easier way to create a solution to a problem, we now think design is
the only way to solve a problem. Design implies intention; it is more
than just creating something. If the purpose/intention is to have a
conversation, then the design should be about enabling the
conversation. Design shapes identity, and identity reciprocally
influences design.Identity through Disruptive TechnologyPersonal identity
through disruptive technology is a contextualized version of yourself, crafted
by you. Multiple, flexible identities are possible, which may differ
from ‘real’ life. Demonstrating separate, multiple identities simultaneously is possible. Is a physical body necessary?

Defining Community, Design, and Identity, through Disruptive Technologies
Group members: Brandon, Liz, Mike, and DonnaFirst we discussed the definition of “Disruptive Technology.” Is it about social upheaval and disrupting the status quo, or is it about interfering or interrupting order?Community in Disruptive TechnologyA community is a unified body of individuals, and when using disruptive technologies they are not bound by physical location or even time (Someone can view a blog on January 31, 2008, and read and respond to a post written at any point in the past. Someone can then read and respond to that post at any point in the future). The unifying bond can be location, identity, interest, or some other commonality, such as a purpose or goal, and should have some kind of interaction with other community members. The Rheingold pieceDesignDesign can apply to many elements. Design is linked to purpose. Design is more accessible, and makes it easier to create a solution to a problem. The tools are available so that everyone can be a designer. Design is decentralized, and design is an equalizer.Identity through Disruptive TechnologyPersonal identity through disruptive technology is a contextualized of yourself, crafted by you.
