The power of design | JD Hooge | TEDxPortland

In this well researched, moving talk, JD Hooge, inspires a call to action to all designers who are uniquely positioned to make a meaningful difference in todays world. Design should be thought of as a "super power" and it is time we take responsibility for the things we create. With our digital well-being at risk, designers have the privilege and the burden of wielding more power and influence than ever before.
With special thanks to core the TEDxPortland organizing team, 70+ volunteers and cherished partners - without you this experience would not be possible. Our event history can be found TEDxPortland.com
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
JD is a co-founder & Chief Creative Officer at Instrument, a digital brand and experience innovation company. Instrument’s team of over 200 creative technologists help organizations like Google, Nike, OneMedical, and MercyCorps navigate the complexities of innovation. Twenty years in to his interaction design career - in an era where our digital wellbeing is at risk - JD’s personal mission (and also, Instrument’s mission) is to enrich human lives through the thoughtful application of design and technology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

big tech is not racing to put humans at the centre, web 3 is.

[@techbd2477]

Where is web 3 now?

[@sadboiwithaguitar2362]

anybody doing their human figures while watching this?

[@adamthompson314]

LOL, I didn't realize that Simmy Krotiel’s Blueprint was updated and now it can grow so much faster. Although what Simmy suggested before was pretty good, now it can grow up to 4 in. Actually, I was able to get up to 3 in. more, I just go’ogled it a few weeks back and I can still feel I’m not done yet.

[@keereekee]

Uggg, typical normy using kids for laughs and relatability. Nothing unique here.

[@Comrade134]

When you're addressing a dumbed down audience sometimes you need to descend to their level for them to be able to relate. Americans have been deliberately brainwashed by their pathetic education system.

[@claravasconcelosss2003]

I don't see the problem, what comes after is more interesting

[@Comrade134]

Maybe for you it's interesting.

[@finiantsl5573]

Not the speakers fault. TED prepares you, gives you the rules. Apart from this, it's been a fashion in the US to think that in public speaking "one has to tell a story" (be it business or else, even in science talks). It's all about AIDA and your own public presence.
