PostIndustrial designer?

While having a rant with one of my friend on the value of industrial design these days, i stumbled across this fantastic term of the "postindustrial designer", and thought: "Ah! At last!".

I have hoped for many moons that the industrial design industry would stop being so in love with itself and heavy production and manufacturing and constantly pretending to design for people as opposed to designing for clients with enormous costs to the environment and the waste industry.

I think with these kinds of words put out there, there might be a chance that we may one day switch to a sort of service-based economy as the great Ezio Manzini would like to see that happen. But maybe im wrong? On reading recent articles on the great need for good industrial design in China for example, is this idea just right for some countries and far from feasible in others?
