[IxDA Discuss] Bill Moggridge talk at Ideo tonight (Bill DeRouchey)

[Bill DeRouchey]

Good points, Jim. You're absolutely right.

I am of course suffering from the same Web myopia.

But then again, the recent overlap I was referring to was the Web/software 
community with the product design community. Each has their own version 
and history of "interaction design." And since the histories aren't 
generally shared, there's a lot of learning to be done.

Thanks for the reality check. I could use a good one once a day.

Bill
