Abstract
What would happen if we wrote an Abstract that was the exact opposite of what the paper described? This is a bad idea,
but it makes us think more carefully than usual about properties of Abstracts. This paper describes BadIdeas, a collection
of techniques that uses ‘bad’ or ‘silly’ ideas to inspire creativity, explore design domains and teach critical thinking in
interaction design. We describe the approach, some evidence, how it is performed in practice and experience in its use.
