Technology has played an significant role in creating sustainability problems that we now face; but it will also play an important role in resolving them. But this does not mean the technological fix will be easy. This book illustrates that the sustainability impact of a technology is often much more complicated and ambivalent than one might expect.
Designers of technology have a major responsibility in the current age. Their designs can have tremendous effects on society, in both the short and the long term. In fact, sustainable development itself has all the characteristics of a design project, albeit a vast one. But a failed product design here will be not just be unsuccessful in the market it will have far-reaching consequences. It is our common responsibility to make the project successful.
