This definition and investigation centers around the issue of argument and rhetoric, and illustrates that Interaction Design is a form of communication that can be thought of as identical in nature to language. As Interaction Design is a vast subject, this text attempts to touch on many topics in a slight manner rather than one topic in a deep manner. "An additional goal of this text is to assure practicing Interaction Designers that they are not, in fact, simply tools to be used in the cleanup phases of a technology-centered project. Interaction Designers need to possess a great intellectual capacity for complicated problem solving, for dynamic inquiry relating to technology, and for substantial empathy of the human experience. This intellectual insight is ideal for solving strategic business problems and for humanizing technology, and the creation of 'pretty interfaces' is perhaps the most blatant misuse of this critical resource."<br />Submited by BaldTechnologist 22, November 2008 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 01:07:05 GMT http://thoughtsoninteraction.com http://thoughtsoninteraction.com five second test "The five second test is a simple usability test that helps you measure the effectiveness of your user interfaces.
