Week 03 Lecture: Human Principles

I enjoyed the week 03 lecture content. The 'principles' discussed in relation to the human psych were what I thought to be the missing link in the previous weeks archigram reading and within many of the proposed technology based future scenarios. Whilst I expect technology will undoubtedly continue to play a huge role in changing the way we live; from the way we work & socially interact to the way we design and build; I believe the idea of surrogates and entirely virtual life goes against what it means to be human at a fundamental and almost sacred level. Perhaps the divide between the virtual and haptic realm will become a balancing act in design as currently acknowledged between indoor and outdoor.
