    THE CHALLENGE

    “I don’t think this change will take place before the end of
    the century. We will have to suffer first from the lack of
    foresight of our fathers and forefathers. After that,
    something radically different can come, but it won’t come on
    its own: it has to be prepared.”

    — Robert Jungk on Participatory Design
