This Changes Sustainable HCI

This paper discusses two viewpoints in the SHCI community. The first advocates for reducing energy consumption and fine-tuning lifestyles to maintain a permanent society. The second argues that major changes in our current lifestyle are needed to maintain human life quality and facilitate a better future. The authors suggest that the SHCI community should support the latter concept for a greater, more lasting impact.


The paper discusses the two currently dominant SHCI views and the authors hope that people will unify their views and coalesce. This reflects the following principles.

•Improving vs. fundamentally changing lifestyles.

•Sustainable Interaction Design


Reflection:

In this essay, I learned about two main views of SHCI and the importance of promoting a sustainable way of life. The author suggests that promoting a better life for people should not be used as an excuse for extreme environmentalism but rather a collaborative effort. I found the proposed measures insightful, particularly in promoting citizen engagement and narrowing the gap between the rich and poor. However, I noticed that these initiatives lack specific details on how they will be implemented. Overall, the essay provided valuable insights on SHCI and the need for a sustainable way of life.
