reviewed Sustainable by Design: Explorations in Theory and Practice on December 25, 2018 Sustainable by Design: Explorations in Theory and Practice
Considering this book is from 2004, it is a good read for looking at tech in hindsight.
Makes one understand why divergence is the key to evolution of tech & mankind.
But is too critical of convergence.
Yes, there have been numerous failures trying to converge certain products/technologies together.
But the 0.1% that have succeeded have been phenomenal.
IPhone, phone-video-calls, wechat-like superapps, hell even a McCafe.
I feel its about getting the right things together to create products that people will find indispensable.
A current Amazon would be a very good case study for the authors.
