Overview
We live at the time where the world around us becomes more and more “digitally” interactive. Not only on the screens that we all have in our pockets, but in physical environments as well.
Technologies evolved so fast and became more and more accessible to mass markets and regular users. At some point in our lifetime, a little over 30 years ago, not everyone had the ability to get money out of an ATM, instead you had to physically go into the bank. You couldn't track your weekend run without sophisticated technology, and when you traveled you had a physical paper map in your pocket that didn’t tell you exactly where you were, no matter how many times you asked.
And even in more recent times you couldn't book a flight without visiting a travel agency or find a long lost high school friend that you haven’t seen in a long time. Nobody heard of AirBnB, Uber, Amazon or a car that can be more aware of a situation on the road and even make certain decisions. In the same way that industrial design has changed our everyday lives whether we are at home, at work or commuting, interaction design is shaping our lives today.
