Framing Questions – Week 11

I really enjoyed Schell’s talk on Design Outside the box.  I think he is a really innovative thinker and although his ideas may seem a bit forward and slightly crazy, he does make good points about human behavior driving the future of technology.  So, here are my questions:

1. Persuasive technology is already a part of the technological world mostly prevalent on Facebook games.  How can we leverage the knowledge of persuasive technology to help children WANT to learn in school?

2. In relation to the Ford Fusion, people obviously feel more desire to help the environment if they can physically see an impact even if it is through a digital representation.  What can we do as designers to use this information to help other necessary problems such as water consumption, the use of plastic, or waste management?
