The Small Technology Foundation's Manifesto for Ethical Design, fundamentally demonstrates how we can design technologies that respect human rights, human endeavors, and human experiences.
Human Rights
Technology that respects human rights is decentralized, peer-to-peer, uses zero-knowledge proof, end-to-end encrypted, free and open source, interoperable, accessible and sustainable.
It respects and protects your civil liberties, reduces inequality, and promotes democracy.
Human effort
Technology that respects human input is functional, comfortable and reliable.
She is considerate and accommodating, not arrogant or demanding. She understands that you may be distracted or have another disability. It respects the limited time we have on this planet.
Human experience
Technology that respects the human experience is beautiful, magical and delightful.
It simply works. It is intuitive. It is invisible. It moves to the background of your life. It gives you joy. It gives you superpowers. It puts a smile on your face and makes your life better.
