Slow tech is a new way of looking at technology. It means designing and developing technologies that are ‘slow’, with the aim of being good, clean, and fair. It has, as an aspiration, the design and use of a new kind of information and communication technologies (ICT): ICT that is human-centred, and that takes into account both the limits of the planet and those of human beings. The focus of this reflection paper is on ICT that speaks to the needs of the environment and society, and is thus implicitly ethical. It contributes towards promoting slow tech to an audience of computer professionals and computer end-users.

Abstract
Slow tech is a new way of looking at technology. It means designing and developing technologies that are ‘slow’, with the aim of being good, clean, and fair. It has, as an aspiration, the design and use of a new kind of information and communication technologies (ICT): ICT that is human-centred, and that takes into account both the limits of the planet and those of human beings. The focus of this reflection paper is on ICT that speaks to the needs of the environment and society, and is thus implicitly ethical. It contributes towards promoting slow tech to an audience of computer professionals and computer end-users.
