I don't think I was being revisionist. I do think that new complexities outside of screen/mouse/keyboard have meant that learnings from traditional UI Design (in your world) have been married with other disciplines and have congealed towards the creation of a new creole discipline of sorts. I don't think you loose anything here and the issues are less about what *I* do as a practitioner and more about how we move forward as technologies and learnings need to be expressed in new ways outside of the interfaces themselves.
Many many organizations HAVE created splits between interaction and interface. They have done so with some levels of arguable success and so have proven that while you want to retain all that control, many organizations have decided to live in a more collaborative arena and have succeeded doing so. Basically, you do BOTH Interface and Interaction Design and that makes you and the processes you live in ONE model that some have succeeded with and others have not. It is neither the only way or the best way, but a way that YOU have had a lot of success with. No one is trying to define away your way of seeing the world, but just trying to acknowledge and contend that there are divisions of tasks, roles and disciplines at work here. I think your belaboring of interface design as everything b/c you do everything ends up becoming a defensive truism, without substantiation except within the confines of individual practice. Further, it does not constitute a real counter argument that interface and interaction can be separated from one another (they can equally be conjoined through practice as well). -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
