There's a discussion at BusinessWeek.com over a post regarding Eastern vs. Western designers. The idea is that we, the West, are asking Asian societies, predominantly China and India, to curb their rapid consumerist growth and grow as post-consumer societies instead. Who are we, the West, to expect they should do this?
Something in the comments caught my eye. I've never heard anyone speak ill of ID. Criticisms and concerns, sure, and usually constructive and mindful of new directions and changes. But never have I heard someone speak so vehemently against it.
The world has changed and [ID] simply cannot be redefined, it is slowly expiring and becoming redundant because it has next to zero intellectual base, history and standards, and thus no respect or recognition.
I'll go into further depth about the main idea of the article in another post.
What do you think of this? Have you ever heard such harsh criticisms of ID before? Do you feel this way yourself? Tell us about it.
