The Conversational Cities project
Problem
The social networks of today are based on attention farming, resulting in passive consumerism and countless hours of mindless scrolling, having little to no impact on our living environments.
Solution
Design actionable content, and incentivized participation based on time, location and context. Reducing strain on the planet by nudging people into meaningful action.
Let's build a lego-toolkit of actionable content UI modules and start building an Impact Appstore today.
Society shall use distributed technology to benefit society.
Blockchain can make the world a fairer place, but we need to bring decision making into our digital networks, as our centralized governance is failing.
Brands are owned by the few, Social Brands are owned by the many.
If we want to design the Internet of Value(s) we need to design digital conversations instead of pages, and build a Social Appstore
We are designing solution for problems from our past.
If we want to make the world a better place, we need to take a stance in the digital space and design for desired outcomes by defining our future.
We never learned to build software for Society.
You become your best self by helping others. So let's build software that assists and empowers us in our daily lives.
Everyone has a role to play in the new Social Appstore.
Instead of solving problems with technology we need to build social technology to help us solve (wicked) problems.
Help yourself, so you can help others.
We are building the wrong things in the digital space and seriously need to build what the worlds needs now.
Our current Digital Product Design is broken, using software and AI to target the mind is simply evil. Learn about the hierarchy dilemma and how real social software design boosts the social cohesion we as people desperately need. We must redefine our UX definition.
The Social Design Academy redefined UX into Social UX the last 18 months, and we are slowly onboarding talent. We should avoid building in digital what we already know, as digital design gives us the power to organize ourselves in new ways.
Start designing with your favorite social brand today and subscribe to meaning. It’s time that we pick up the torch for a brighter tomorrow together. Here we turn digital product designers into change makers.
