N2  - Connectedness is a manifold phenomenon. It relates to our identity construction process, our need to feel independent while simultaneously being emotionally connected to other human beings. Connectedness is an opportunity, which differs from existing markets for experiences, assistive technologies and communication. Design for connectedness refers to creating environments (in the broadest sense) that support, amplify and motivate those things in life that are important for improving  wellbeing
