Onur Cobanli explains:
While language allows us to talk with one another, design allows us to communicate with the rest of the World. It is with design that we can create impactful products, projects, experiences and services that shape the whole planet if not the whole universe. Many people suffer from lack of design education; imagine billions of individuals unable to speak; unable to communicate; now this is very real for design; billions of people unable to create solutions; unable to engineer, unable to architect, unable to form, unable to create new products, projects, services and experiences that make the World a better place, imagine the possibilities if everyone was a designer, an engineer, an architect, we are losing a lot by not teaching design as a primary class, of course philosophy too; who on earth thought that it was a good idea not to teach philosophy to kids; the love of knowledge is not thought; the applied form of philosophy, art, science and economics, the design is not though; these shall all be thought in primary class, not when the kids are already too old to rewire their brain.
