gongblog - journal - In defense of generalists

It is no secret that I think design education is a little too specialized to the point of only being able to churn out high-tech craftsmen. In this time of global recession, jobs being decimated, major economies hanging in the balance, a new left-of-center administration about to take the helm -- just take a look at what the design blogosphere continues to blog about -- nothing of real consequence (well, maybe some proactive insights as to how to make our existing super-surplus of consumer crap...a more sustainable super-surplus of consumer crap).
