    John Thackara has written the books ‘Doors of Perception’ and ‘In the Bubble’, which came out in April 2005. If you do not already, Thackara will teach you to hate products that do not take people’s needs as their starting point in stead of the countless possibilities offered by technology. And he will give his views on what happens to the design process as we move from broadcast media to interactive media.
