The other 90% of the population lives in developing countries. These countries are limited by the types and the quantity of resources that they have access to. Five characteristics of socially responsible design are as follows: 1. Inexpensive - everyone should have reasonable access to the product. 2. Useful - a product designed for third world countries must be useful rather than a luxury item. 3. Intuitive - a product must be usable without a great deal of training. 4. Environmentally conscious - a product must not cause long term damage to the Earth. 5. Easy to create - a product must be easy to create so that the community can be involved.
