When scientists develop computer technologies, they focus on making the machine work reliably and efficiently, and human moral values are not often part of the equation. Perhaps this is due to the belief that technology has a value-neutral nature, and that issues of value are better left to philosophers. Batya Friedman, however, disputes this assumption with arguments that reveal the links between human values and computer technology. Bringing together leading researchers and system designers, Friedman addresses fascinating and rich questions in "Human Values and the Design of Computer...

This monograph brings together a collection of 14 value sensitive design methods. These methods-along with the heuristics and examples discussed here-go a good distance toward providing tools for engaging substantively with human values in the technical design process.
