A very interesting view on what the future of this thing we call the “internet” will or can become. The narrator’s heavy futuristic accent makes everything sound so validating. It makes we want to trust him.

An amazing article by Alice Rawsthorn on how designers are changing the world for the better. From a $100 laptop for schoolchildren in developing countries, to a pot for carrying water that can be easily rolled, designers are focusing their talents on the world’s poor, in an effort to positively impact the lives of the world’s unwealthiest 90%.

More information and specs on the $100 laptop.

I like designers who are exceptionally good at what they do. But even bigger kudos go out to those who really have a passion for sharing what they know. Check out the website of Nike footwear designer, Michael DiTullo as he gives up trade secrets for inspiring footwear designers.
