THE CHALLENGE
“I don’t think this change will take place before the end of
the century. We will have to suffer first from the lack of
foresight of our fathers and forefathers. After that,
something radically different can come, but it won’t come on
its own: it has to be prepared.”
— Robert Jungk on Participatory Design
