Ethics in product design and UX writing.

It's a pretty heavy topic today pals. But we make it fun ;) 

We're talking:

- the addictiveness of apps

- moral dilemmas with projects or companies we’ve worked for and with 

- where does the responsibility lie?

- how we do things a little differently now that we have more experience under our belts

- why traditional influence techniques are great to know, but it's how you use them
