New technologies are paving new paths for design practices: fast developments in robotics integrated in connected devices, and in sensor technology embedded in devices related to our environment and our body; 3D printing that leads to the next industrial revolution by democratizing the role of designers and manufacturers; increasing influence of the internet on people-people, people-product and product-product communication, on our purchasing behaviour, on controlling intelligent systems, etc. We experience all these technology developments in our daily life. For society it seems such a relevant and beneficial issue that a substantial part of our research budgets in industry and academia are spent on technology progress both national and international.
