Taiwan's industries participated in the development of the PC and became important contributors to PC technology and manufacturing. With the advent of the Internet, 3C integration and the digital era, Taiwan's industries are changing their roles from simply engaging in manufacturing to demonstrating concern for human beings, striving to build a new environment in which global consumers may enjoy the benefits of digital technology. The development of the Internet, digital transmission technology and the liberalization of telecommunications brought about 3C convergence in communications, information and consumer electronics. This convergence has resulted in indeterminate, fuzzy boundaries between different applications, even different functions. 

Digital technology however will rapidly prevail. Soon everyone will be required to confront the digital society, although not everyone will be able to embrace it completely. That is why it is crucial to be able to predict future trends and developments based on social realities, human psychology and environmental factors, and to integrate these with technology in order to produce ergonomic products and interfaces. This will be the key to the success of digital products. We would like to extend our sincere invitation to designers to share their visions for the future, in order to draft a blue print for tomorrow's society.

Theme:
"Creating a Digital Culture"
Following the development of key IT technology and the trend toward smart home appliances, we chose "Creating a Digital Culture" as the theme of this contest to encourage designers to incorporate creativity, human considerations and practical necessity into the design process. The goal is to create an intelligent, tasteful life style in the post-PC era based on human factors, using digital technology to explore the connections among people, products and the environment.
