This document tells three stories about how technology and thinking about people can have positive outcomes: 1. Where technology is developed without considering people, things can go badly. 2. When people think about others and work to benefit them, like creating a free coding club for kids, it is rewarding. 3. Technology can help people in meaningful ways when developed with individuals in mind, such as a webcam saving a farm and social media coordinating emergency response. The conclusion encourages developers to envision how their creations could feature in a positive story that helps people. Considering users leads to technology that improves lives.
