The readings of this week were very informative and interesting. Both of them talked about the role of the designer in the world. Armstrong focuses on the designer during the 20th century, he states that even though design is everywhere, designers passed unnoticed and unacknowledged. On the other hand, Munari states that the role of the designer in this world is to remove the bias and prejudice of people around us.

According to the readings, the designer is constantly adapting his or her techniques to the emerging styles. The difference between design and other creative occupations lies in the fact that a designer is able to help people without having preconceptions and adapting himself to the needs of the client; there are different types of designer works and they all are adapted to human activity. Technology is evolving and the designer has to adapt himself to these new technologies, he has to be prepared for the change. 

What both readings are trying to teach us, is that the past is a key for the future. We are the future, therefore, we have to be prepared for what is coming next in terms of technology and human-centered design.
