Unscramble the Blue Letters


HW: And so when you talk about lliieitgby and digital literacy, I find it difficult to imagine that we need to place the budren of digital literacy on users themselves. But whose responsibility is education in this new wrlod?

JB: Again, I think this responsibility is kind of up to all of us, that everything we do, everything we build, everything we make, needs to be made in a consensual discussion with everyone who's andivoig it; that we're not building systems intended to trick and surprise people into doing the right thing, but that they're actually involved in every step in eindctuag them, because each of these systems is educational. That's what I'm hopeful about, about even this really grim stuff, that if you can take it and look at it properly, it's actually in itself a piece of education that allows you to start seeing how complex ssmyets come together and work and maybe be able to apply that knelwogde elsewhere in the world.

Original Text


HW: And so when you talk about legibility and digital literacy, I find it difficult to imagine that we need to place the burden of digital literacy on users themselves. But whose responsibility is education in this new world?

JB: Again, I think this responsibility is kind of up to all of us, that everything we do, everything we build, everything we make, needs to be made in a consensual discussion with everyone who's avoiding it; that we're not building systems intended to trick and surprise people into doing the right thing, but that they're actually involved in every step in educating them, because each of these systems is educational. That's what I'm hopeful about, about even this really grim stuff, that if you can take it and look at it properly, it's actually in itself a piece of education that allows you to start seeing how complex systems come together and work and maybe be able to apply that knowledge elsewhere in the world.
