Demand Pull and Technology Push For Innovations

When Does Design Demand Overtake Technology Push? Simplistic Ubiquity

 Users are often reluctant and naturally it is the vanguards that try thus inspiring others to join in thus creating further inclusion to group dynamics. In particular, and fully defined in Demand Pull and Technology Push -  Perspectives in Technology-Based Innovations for the Points of Sale we see the underpinnings of the need to have  technology-based innovations needing the support of an adoption network for enhancing their diffusion and meeting consumers' needs before they are made viabale

Designing Sustainability via Convergance and Divergence

How are Designers Pushing Boundaries of What’s Next? By Diverging. 

Detailed quite carefully in Designing Sustainability: Making Radical Changes in a Material World by Stuart Walker the idea of divergent design methodologies is explored as a mechanism to bring larger changes to the world based on design sustainability. Factors such as spirituality, beliefs, their technological underpinnings and social meaning are measured and validated via specific toolsets to push designers to further investigate the mechanisms of innovations are accepted and utilized.
