[IxDA Discuss] A Semi-Theoretical Question

[Brad Lauster]

Hi Dan,

A few suggestions:

1. Based on the panel at BayCHI earlier this week: interaction design  
for emergent behavior

2. I'll echo Marc's suggestion: distributed interactions

3. I think framing is an important topic, both in terms of how we  
frame the problem and how we frame our relationship with the user.

4. Interaction design solutions as platforms for other interaction  
designs. For example, a programmer builds an API so that other  
programmers can more easily build their programs. Couldn't we do  
something similar with our designs?

5. And here are some topics that I think should be getting more  
attention in our community. I'd like to see more writing about these  
topics as they relate to interaction design:
      - Behaviors
      - Motivations
      - Contexts
      - Ethics
      - Caring
      - Humanity

There are also other topics I'd like to see more writing about as  
well, but most of them aren't necessarily interaction design, so  
they're probably not appropriate suggestions for this thread -  
scenario planning, for example.

Thanks for the question, Dan. This is a good thread!
