- Interaction Design is dialogue between a person and a product, system and/or service through the understanding of problem spaces and what people want and need. The industry provides challenges such as time constraints for project ideas/completion, deciding which problem needs solving, or the designer “being responsible for creating a product that affords, or encourages relationships between a product and a person in a very finite sense”. Chapter Seven also mentions “wicked problems” which are “a form of large-scale social or cultural problem that is difficult to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements”.
- I answered what interaction design is above, but as for how it’s evolving, in Chapter Six it mentions how technology is beginning to become depended on in everyday activities. Kolko says, “Many people view Google or a similar search engine as an extension of themselves” which I see everyday. If you are having a conversation with someone and you both are unsure of a fact or statement that is made, someone simply pulls out their phone and google searches the question at hand. Interaction Design draws knowledge from a lot of user research data, which shows how people use technology on a daily basis and what their habits or tendencies when using technology are.
