I'm 17 years old. i'm not a straight-a student or anything. even so, i figured out how to make an internet that they can't wiretap. i figured out how to jam their person-tracking technology. i can turn innocent people into suspects and turn guilty people into innocents in their eyes. i could get metal onto an airplane or beat a no-fly list. i figured this stuff out by looking at the web and by thinking about it. if i can do it, terrorists can do it. they told us they took away our freedom to make us safe. do you feel safe?

About 60% of the people stopped when we had 24 jams on display and then at the times when we had 6 different flavors of jam out on display only 40% of the people actually stopped, so more people were clearly attracted to the larger varieties of options, but then when it came down to buying, so the second thing we looked at is in what case were people more likely to buy a jar of jam. what we found was that of the people who stopped when there were 24 different flavors of jam out on display only 3% of them actually bought a jar of jam whereas of the people who stopped when there were 6 different flavors of jam 30% of them actually bought a jar of jam.

The [israelis] believed - they were possessed of an absolute certainty and conviction - that 'terrorists' were in chatila. how could i explain to them that the terrorists had left, that the terrorists had worn israeli uniforms, that the terrorists had been sent into chatila by israeli officers, that the victims of the terrorists were not israelis but palestinians and lebanese?
Uniforms Victim Conviction
In tracking down and eliminating terrorists, we need to change our metaphor from a "war on terror" - exactly what, pray tell, is that? - to the mind-set of interpol tracking down master criminals through intense global cooperation among nations, or the fbi stalking the mafia, or local police determined to quell street gangs without leveling the entire neighborhood in the process.

I was thinking, i could turn him into a fly and drop him into a spider's web and watch him tangled and helpless and struggling, shut into the body of a dying buzzing fly; i could wish him dead until he died.i could fasten him to a tree and keep him there until he grew into the trunk and bark grew over his mouth. if he was under the ground i could walk over him stamping my feet.
Struggle Thinking Feet
What’s next for technology and design? a lot less thinking about technology for technology’s sake, and a lot more thinking about design. art humanizes technology and makes it understandable. design is needed to make sense of information overload. it is why art and design will rise in importance during this century as we try to make sense of all the possibilities that digital technology now affords.
