The reason this is ties into what you think is the core of IxD: technology and software. Interaction designers didn't get involved in services until there was technology there for us to be involved in. When human cashiers did all the check-out at the grocery stores there weren't any interaction designers. Add a self-checkout and voila, you get interaction designers (hopefully). We're foolish and short-sighted if we think that all of our work in the future will be traditional software and websites.
