Chapters nine "Contexts" and ten "Futures" continued talking about the dirty past of design and took a new view to the future of design as the book comes to an end. It was also interesting to get another look at the designer and client relationship and the situations that arise. This was reminding me of the guest designers that visited and I compared some of their experiences in the industry to the big business examples in the text. This was also interesting because I like to know whats going on within these companies and past design efforts.
Though there are so many products and concepts that have been introduced to society, Cradle to Cradle is right, we have much more to address and the future does hold the solutions to help the elderly and countries with basic needs. Along with these hopes and anticipations, there is a constant worry about overly consuming and the amount of waste we continue to create. We must be proactive in making a change. I'm looking forward to seeing how our constantly evolving technologies, markets, and cultures continue to shape our processes for designing, conducting business, and solving societies problems.
