84. When you are hired to design something,
    you are hired for your expertise. Your job is
    not just to produce that work but to
    evaluate the impact of that work.

101. Ultimately, we as designers must always consider how
     this new technological era can benefit not only our
     users, but humanity as a whole– by reducing the
     ecological impact of mankind on the planet and helping
     people maintain healthier lifestyles.
     In this realm, we’re most likely to find added value in
     connected products. This, of course, will contribute to the
     success and longevity of our products.
