[IxDA Discuss] Anti Read: Want to build the next ?hot? technology?

[Jarod Tang]

Hi James:

>From my limited experience, what you saying may hit the problem (i also
think about it for some time, no serious detail results until now).
 For interaction design, the difference with other design domain, is
thinking/designing in context (so persona's goal, scenario, time factors
come ). it's just the alternate/frequently used phrase in system design for
long time.
>From other point, the system theory/thinking/engineering/designing has run
for some time, which really enable us to have better understanding of  the
designed target; especially, for the case of  service design and process
design.
And, from this point, it will solve (partly ? ) the  "foundation/elements of
interaction design"  problem, which be  discussed/talked/(hot speaking
without listen to each other, ;) )

Thanks very much  for your inspiring  hints.

Cheers
-- Jarod
