I was recently interviewed for an article in the Yakima Herald Republic on technology behavior. Specifically, I was asked to comment on why individuals adopted new gadgets and other intrusive technology gadgets.

I am currently in Monterrey, Mexico attending the Third Positive Design Workshop: Technology, Design and Management: Creating New Models of Possibility for All. The conference is hosted by Tecnológico de Monterrey. The weather is great, the people are nice, and the conversations have been stimulating….The conversations have focused around how we might enable positive change in society through using an appreciative inquiry lens.
