Grounding the Innovation of Future Technologies
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Grounding the Innovation of Future Technologies
I'm not sure this is true: "innovation, development, and evaluation of design ideas cannot be based only on the designer's intuitions but must be grounded in users' actual needs and behaviors. We need to apply social and psychological sciences to understand how technology could qualify a positive change for the users."

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Future Of Learning? Well, It's Personal
Anya Kamenetz, NPR, 2018/11/16
This NPR article on personal and personalized learning (cast here as two types of personalized learning) has a hard focus on U.S. schools sector issues and voices, which is unfortunate.
