Thanks for posting a great and provocative question.
As RuffleMuffin says, in the basic sense, services don't need technology, and as you say, technology certainly needs services. A project that comes to mind for me is HandUp Congo. The need to help create a micro-finance structure in the Democratic R…
I'm not sure about your statement, "Because apparently sustainable services don't need IT's." What do you mean here?
I feel technology most certainly can enhance the design of a service, good service, as you say.
I essentially agree with all great points made in the previous comments offered in answer to this question. What I'm struggling with in my teaching, is the general lack of incentive I find in most students. Is this because, as many here have alluded…
The Ralf Beuker is quite interesting. Thanks, WL Wong for sharing the link.
Dave Gray of X-Plane comes to mind. I heard him speak in May at Wordpress' Wordcamp here in San Francisco.

He's a visual thinker.
Can we look at creating a mission for this group?
AIGA's mission is to advance designing as a strategic tool, professional craft and vital cultural force.

I inadvertently stumbled upon MIT’s Next Lab project’s web site as I was trying to correct an incorrect link a friend sent. What an interesting project.

Had a great meeting yesterday with Martha Estrella, Lead Teacher at Everett Middle School here in SF, and a dear friend. She is quite excited about the prospect of collaborating on a project with us.
She has a grant from Adobe which requires her students to create their personal narratives via video. This requires the students to learn the tools of Photoshop, and Premiere, and possibly Flash, as well as how to construct visual narratives by way of writing and the design process.
I threw out one possibility of collaboration, could be to have design, web production, and video/film students act as mentors helping her students develop their narratives, and then guide them in the creation of their videos. The final pieces would be showcased as part of Adobe's project, Youth Voices. The month of completion for these projects is April 2010.
Below is an example of work done by one of the Inneract Project students:
