[Op ed] To decarbonize we must decomputerize
This is a urgent topic that requires a fundamental rethinking of what we do, what we teach, and – in many ways – who we are. I myself am a product of the “computing is good / tech is good / we need more smart stuff” ideology, and I find it quite difficult to resist the sirens of shiny new “stuff”. Much deeper reflection is urgently needed, and much more design work.
