The Web Is Our Responsibility
63 likes10,919 views
The document discusses how the web is our collective responsibility. It addresses how the web is evolving through responsive design, media queries, and new APIs that can detect device light levels. It also emphasizes the importance of considering invisible requirements, offline usage, and having an ethical approach to web development through avoiding dark patterns and prioritizing accessibility and inclusion. The overall message is that change can be difficult but is necessary, and that we all must work to make the web excellent for each other.

If the problem with your service is that the servers are slow and the UX Team can’t change that, then they aren’t in control of the user experience and they shouldn’t be called the user experience team.” https://gds.blog.gov.uk/2014/07/18/whats-the-design-process-at-gds/
