Appropriation

I have been writing a personal statement of sorts to give to companies for employment prospects. During this process I have tried to understand what I really love in design and in the thing we call the future. I think, after some time, I have come to the conclusion that I really like the idea of simply making things better by making them more appropriate. This process is not uncommon, of course there are things like the appropriate technology school of thought however I think they are only getting half the picture. I think the other half is outside of the technology and the outcome but in the methodology and the sources of decision making context. 

I also really like the idea of the future as being an achievable end, as is demonstrated considering an effort to bring the future sooner. I think this is the role of design and will be the result of appropriation. 

Perhaps I am not saying anything new here, just reiterating what most designer know, but I think the lexical difference is enough to provoke a new approach to the same information.
