How UX Can Be Socially Conscious In 2019?

With each passing day, technology is making the world a smaller place, enabling people to create virtual communities that span continents. Designers of technology need to ensure that the filters through which people see the world are egalitarian and inclusive, that the product/ service/ app created is both socially responsible and oriented towards business goals.

UX designers are constantly influencing perceptions and shaping thinking and with this great power comes great responsibility. Designers should, thus, measure themselves by how inclusive the user experiences design are in the coming year.

Designing for Privacy.

The importance of data and privacy is greater than ever before in this hyper-connected world. The implementation of GDPR laws in Europe highlight this very fact. While these laws don’t apply to India and other proposals like the Srikrishna committee report are yet to gain acceptance, as UX designer, one must adopt practices that protect user privacy. Following strict data privacy practices also has the added benefit of allowing Indian start-ups to expand in Europe without major changes to the design of their systems.

Design for Awareness.
