This all sounds like revisionism to me.
As someone who's been practicing interface design for nearly 20 years,
I can tell you there's never been a time where what you folks describe
as "interaction" was never a part of interface design as I practiced
it. I understand I'm probably in the minority here about what I've
been allowed to control and design in my career, but what irks me the
most is how the IxD community is taking over a term, and in doing so,
negating certain skill sets in the process. It all feels as bad as the
decision by some to call folks "user experience designers."
It's always been about what the designer is expected to know and do in
their day to day work. Again, I don't care if in 20 years I'm called
an interaction designer, but the expectation better be that I get
accountability and control over the design of the interaction, the
visuals, and the information, along with the ability to budget and pay
for coding and building real prototypes.
