A Vision of the Future of Media Technology Design Education - design and education from HCI to UbiComp

This paper discusses the need for a Human Centred Creative Technology approach to the design and education of HCI and Media Technology. We briefly describe our current practice what HCI and Media technology design and education (should) look like, being grounded on a vision of the future of area of interest as informal, not-necessarilly goal-directed and lightweight practice, associated the technology generation of ubiquitous computing, smartphone apps and the internet of things. It discusses some of the lessons learned from actual design, research and education, focussing on design as a exploratory process of mashing-up functions, services and presentations in the context learning by doing: doing research, doing design and doing learning from each other. Finally, having discussed the consequences of a Human Centred Creative Technology approach for design and for education, the main part of the paper discusses the content issues behind the developments in the area of HCI ad Media technology. This part discusses a number of attempts from the litterature to describe the developments, the need to identify a set of independent causal factors behind the developments, and the process and its results to arrive at a set of factors which help to understand, teach and anticipate the development from the desktop-oriented generation towards the ubiquitous, sensitive, smart, tangible, and networked ICT generation of the future.
