[IxDA Discuss] iPhones on Campus

[Geoff Barnes]

Well I agree, to an extent, with the basic thesis of deskilling.  

That said, what keeps me up at night these days is not deskilling,
per se, but the degradation of fundamental problem solving skills,
the development and maintenance of which have been for eons the
cornerstone of evolution.

We're systematically closing down many of the avenues for such
practice, in myriad ways.  And UX designers often end up the
unwitting instruments of this foreclosure.

Just a thought.
