As a teacher in ICT and Media Design at Fontys University of Applied Sciences I know but all too well what many of my students want. They are part of a makers community. Most of them just want to build cool stuff with whatever (new) technology may be relevant. My students are by grosso modo millennials or even post-millennials: a synthetic generation for whom the concept of digital ‘transformation’ is alien (van Doorn, Duivestein, & Pepping, 2019). So most of my students are digitals natives: they use ICT as a tool to make a positive impact on society. But does that mean they use their (ICT) skills to build the right things? Or more specifically: do they automatically build things in a right manner? I don’t think so and I will be happy to explain my reflective thoughts about this later on in this essay. But let me give you an example from my daily practice first.
