]]> Comment on Around the interwebs… by Grant Martin http://dschool.stanford.edu/blog/2011/01/11/around-the-interwebs/#comment-2016 Grant Martin Mon, 18 Jul 2011 21:16:51 +0000 http://dschool.stanford.edu/2011/01/11/around-the-interwebs/#comment-2016 The military has been turning to "Design" as of late ( http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/2011/03/design-and-the-prospects-of-a/ ) and ( http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/2011/04/to-design-or-not-to-design-par/ ). Although I'd argue that military might not be the "national tool" we should use Design with because it is by its nature a blunt force, it would seem that our politicians have perhaps turned to the military more than not due to a lack of other tools (or imagination) to tackle complex problems. What seemed to be a failure of the military's to take into account differing worldviews and/or to question the logic of its civilian leadership prior to going into Iraq in 2003 has turned into a controversial attempt to "do better" next time- and have soldiers approach efforts utilizing a Design framework. So far there hasn't been much success ( http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/2011/07/a-tale-of-two-design-efforts-a/ ) as I argue, but am curious as to what Stanford students and professors think about the military turning to Design and/or learning from what Stanford's experience offers.

Has anyone carried out such inquiry, beyond testimonials and adoptions (valuable as these may be)? Is there anyone (David Fetterman, for example, at Stanford University) who has been an independent, third-party evaluator? Many thanks Lois-ellin Datta Where can I find some links/references to rigorous evaluations of the effectiveness of your approach?

Since there are many ways to "disable" or interfere with Internet access, this could be approached from both a software and a hardware perspective. (It may not be the government; it could be anyone with the power to do so. Also, I've read that China is developing ways to jam satellite Internet phones.)
