The paper and presentation discusses the need for a Human Centred Creative Technology approach to the design and education of HCI and Media Technology. We briefly describe our current practice what HCI and Media technology design and education (should) look like, being grounded on a vision of the future of area of interest as informal, not-necessarilly goal-directed and lightweight practice, associated the technology generation of ubiquitous computing, smartphone apps and the internet of things. It discusses some of the lessons learned from actual design, research and education, focussing on design as a exploratory process of mashing-up functions, services and presentations in the context learning by doing: doing research, doing design and doing learning from each other.

Finally, the paper discusses the underlying vision with respect to the content of the transition in research, education and design from the desktop-oriented generation towards the ubiquitous, sensitive, smart, tangible, and networked ICT generation of the future.
