Design for the other 90%

I found this site through Firedoglake. It's a museum exhibition (in New York, unfortunately, not close to any of us) called Design For The Other 90%.

“The majority of the world’s designers focus all their efforts on developing products and services exclusively for the richest 10% of the world’s customers. Nothing less than a revolution in design is needed to reach the other 90%.”
—Dr. Paul Polak, International Development Enterprises

This used to be called appropriate technology, which you might define as "the simplest technology that will get the job done." This site showcases pickup-truck bicycles, rollable water carriers with no moving parts, $100 laptops for children, and so on. The site's very inspiring, so take a look.
