SUMMARY
This paper explores sustainability in interaction design by reframing concepts of user identity and use in a domestic setting. The paper starts off by mentioning Western cultures are typically very wasteful. This means designers need to design for sustainability. The study in this paper focuses on interaction design principles in the domestic environment. They basically said that many designs in the home can be reusable. This will increase a products life cycle and mitigate harm to the environment.
DISCUSSION:
I thought I was going to be reading a paper about good design principles. The authors of this paper seemed to be environmentalists. All the paper did was talk about designing for sustainability. This means design with materials that will last people longer so they don't have to throw them away as quickly.
