"Let's not let this discussion become political or religious. Its about IxD and use of politically charged semantic power words is most unwelcome."
Meh - The thread was political to start with. (and only tangentially related to IXD) I admit I got my dander up - must have forgot my pill this morning :-) Anyway - not sure if you can divorce politics from design. (OLPC is a great example) Design is an essentially human endevor - an iterative process of optimizing an experience for a fundamentally flawed user. Good design requires empathy and compassion for the user- it is not a neural perspective - ergo design is political. However, if I offended anyone - it wasn't my intention and I appologize. (But Andy Rooney is STILL a whiny old crank!) Trip . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
