Perhaps it's just my ignorance but I don't understand the difference between an Interaction Designer and an Interface Designer. I don't understand intuitively how to design interaction without designing interfaces. I don;t understand how to do either without considering the way that the information I present is organized. And I doubt that most people outside our community will either.
As MD's practice medicine, in my view I practice the human-centered design of the presentation layer. I realize that not everyone will see it that way. But I do believe that we must present a simple, seamless face to the outside world. Andrei, you said "I think its dangerous for designers to silo themselves like that in the technology sector, because as technology flattens even more while becoming even easier to implement, the need to have multiple people do the job of the design and the economics of building digital products will simply not be viable." I completely agree with you and that is the danger I am trying to avoid. It's hard enough explaining to the CEO or CIO why they need help with the users let alone trying to explain the nuances of Ux,Ix, UI, IA, and the other elements in this alphabet soup. One title will also help with HR and the Job Boards, IMO. Charlie . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
