To All tha 90-Percenters...

While I don't think Design can "solve the problems of the world's poor," no matter how savvy, I gotta salute folks like those mentioned in this article from the NY Times for using their intelligence and resources for the greater good. If these forward-thinking solutions to serious-yet-mundane problems can actually be distributed amongst and used by the people who need them (a large hurdle in its own right), their impact would be huge in just allowing recipients to accomplish things hitherto unimaginable due to lack of time and/or resources. I guess we shall see.
