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.
