it’s unethical to provide “free” services in exchange for user
data
None
None
None
None
What’s the alternative?
as users, how can we find and use services that
won’t exploit our data?
as creators, how do we create alternatives?
None
None
Better (and realistic) business models
Free (as in cost) for data isn’t the exchange 1.
Users own their own data 2.
Free (as in freedom) 3.

What makes WordPress so successful?
The WordPress experience
WordPress is free (as in cost) and data isn’t the
exchange 1.
WordPress users own their own data 2.
WordPress is free (as in freedom) 3.
None
You give me a product, I pay you for that
product. You provide me with a service, I pay you for that service.

Major weaknesses in the tech industry
None
None
None
None
None
None
a lack of convenience and ease of use results in
a poor user experience
design for consumers, not just for enthusiasts
None
we need to make a difference before it’s too late
None
None
None
we need to wean people off the existing systems
None
alternative technology won’t spread beyond enthusiasts if we don’t pay
attention to the things that matter to consumers
Great user experience design is design as a holistic practice
None
design is every decision
None
None

good user experience means designers must understand business, and business
must understand design

designing for ourselves

None

that’s design
None
None
user experience is the differentiator
how can we compete unless we offer world-leading experiences?
we need to match their discoverability and scalability
we need to implement an ethical holistic approach to design
design without ethics is manipulation

decoration perpetuates the status quo; design alters it

The benefits of accessible design
None
The benefits of diverse design
diversity is the characteristics that make us up as individuals
these characteristics give us unique needs and unique outlooks
None
None
None
None
the more diverse a team, the more likely their product
is to solve and serve the problems of a diverse audience
diverse appeal will help spread tech beyond the “digital elite”
What we need to make good alternatives to today’s bad
technology:
1. Distributed
2. Free (as in freedom)
3. A sustainable business model
4. Accessibility
