design vs technology in school
Design Observer recently posted a link to this article about the lack of technology and software education in many design programs. (There is further discussion on the topic here.)
Does anyone else have any opinions on this? Should design programs be teaching software as well as design skills? LSU's program largely ignored software education in the graphic design program, but I was grateful for the amount of time that was spent on teaching design. In my opinion it's easier to teach yourself the software than how to think like a designer, and the latter requires a far greater investment of time and energy.
Your thoughts?
