Designing for Humans — Dave Wiskus

Dave Wiskus explores the meaning of design and its impact on our lives, with a tour through the choices that brought the tech industry and software design to where they are today, and where our choices will lead us tomorrow. Every decision has a genesis, and every decision has an impact. Technology is created to empower people, but it all still starts with people.

This talk was presented at AltConf in June 2015.
