It seems wrong to me to refer to IxD as the "design of time" rather than
"design that unfolds over time", particularly as a unifying approach.
Musicians and filmmakers face similar challenges since the form of their
work inherently takes shape over time, yet they wouldn't define what they do
solely in those terms. Rather, time is a material -- we are designing *with*
time but not time itself.
I think there was a consensus that the goal is not always speed but just as
a reminder -- maybe sometimes the goal is "slow". http://www.slowdesign.org/
