Unit 2: Topic?

After our visit to the Market, our group regrouped and decided to boil down the topic which we wanted to work on, many things were coming to our mind such as

Post capitalist society view 

Work includes invisible work such as household work etc

Knowledge economy

Hierarchy of Value

Structure of labour

These were the few ideas which we decided to build further on:

  • Mental Health flagging system – app or a headset 
  • More privacy in certain jobs  
  • Cards against humanity – future of work
  • Dungeons and dragons based game
  • Chip on your brain idea 
  • Boundaries in the work space
  • Gaze 
  • Healthcare Industry

Eventually we decided that we liked the idea of creating a product/service which enhances human performance, as much we thought more about it, totally futuristic ideas seemed a little much, and predicting the need for future that isnt here yet was a little difficult, thus we decided to make a product which not only fits the corporate working population but which also helps out the invisible jobs such as domestic labour, the idea was to create a chi, but the conflict remained that chips are already here, AI is already here, what is the thing which isnt here yet but someday could be? in a society which is still capitalistic, as the idea of capitalism going away in the near future did not seem very plausible. So we now had to figure out what concept of the chip was going to be.
