[IxDA Discuss] Interaction design is design of time

[Todd Roberts]

 After reading through the post, I think I'll have to modify my initial
thought and say that it's the management of attention through time. It was
brought up that interactions take place in time, pretty much by definition.
Management of attention in a static way would be in the realm of information
and/or graphic design, so the process aspect is what IxD adds. But I'll
maintain (at least for now) that time *savings* is a side effect of the
management of attention across time.

I agree with a previous post that interaction design is primarily concerned
> with attention. Time management is a side-effect.
