My annotation of innovation campus

T: Langge gives an effective evidence to support her claim that the new innovation campus and the culture being promoted will benefit universities and their students. But two most interesting segments from this article that need consideration are quotation from interviews of university administrator and financial figures regarding cost associated with high-tech “learning” facilities.

I: Unquestioned interviews of university administrators serve to promote the innovations described in the article, but does not provide a meaningful context for an open debate.

II: Financial figures in the article give the impression that the only complaints against corporate/ tech culture and the design aesthetic it promotes as an overall value for everyone, including universities and their students.

C: Lange employs detailed descriptions of the tech environments of several specific university programs from diverse institutions as evidence. But there’s question about the dangerous failure of the article: ‘What is the cost of celebrating new technologies and the values and aesthetics they promote without questioning their impact on our humanity’?
