The end of design

I just came back from CES (thanks to Here for flying me over to see their work, I'll write about that soon too) and wanted to write down some thoughts I've been having over the past few months which crystallised during this trip. I'll be giving a talk tomorrow in Oslo at an event organised by Telenor which will touch some of what I'll write about here too. I've been thinking about product design. Technically I studied industrial design, graduated from a B.A.(Sc) Sp. in 2004. We were never introduced to programming, computer science principles, electronics design or prototyping and the internet was an image search tool for presentations.
