@sejer @IDC_ACM Have you seen Computer Lib? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Lib/Dream_Machines Probably the coolest book on the topic. Made in 1974 and still true.

This reminds me of the stories of schools in Baltimore with piles of tech kept in storage closets because no one knew how to use them or how to maintain them. (At least I think it does because I don’t read Danish). https://twitter.com/sejer/status/973528218694246401

@cabitzaf @drfeifei That’s a great argument and I see where you are coming from. One of the most frustrating things about this field is when it is incorrectly applied. The Children-Computer Interaction people I work with care very deeply about ethics and responsibility as well as design.

@cabitzaf @drfeifei If the mighty designer decides what people need, it’s not human centered design.

@jeffbigham “nothing artificial about it…humans created it…” Isn’t that literally the definition of artificial?

@buddhaumd @iduncan It’s $72 one way from my neighborhood to the national mall via UberX. Back and forth would be ~150. Four kids in the car would $35 each.
It was just a thought experiment when I saw $100k for buses.

@iduncan Thanks for that. 3000 kids just sounds like a lot. Based on 2016 census data, 15% of Baltimore’s population is 6-18. Let’s split that for 12-18 so it’s ~43k kids. We’re going to send 7% of that group?
Sounds like a lot.
Also, 60 buses @ 100k would be ~$1667 per bus.

@iduncan Based on my calc, an Uber would be ~$35 per kid round trip (4 to a car). 100k covets more than 2500 kids going. If we’re taking 2500 kids, that’s ~50 school buses. Are buses $2000 each!? Do we plan on sending more than 2500 kids?

@iduncan How many buses will it be? That sounds super expensive for renting.
