Something I keep thinking about seeing all of these individual names is that as opposed to e.g., paintings that are easier to think of as being created by one person, so much of the work done by the names on these lists were really team/group efforts.
Aren't we continuing to sell one of the the major myths of innovation (i.e. Scott Berkun's book) by focusing on individuals? For example, I love Alan Kay's work, but I always think of his contributions together with the environment at Xerox PARC and all of the others in the groups that he worked with. Same with Edison, and for most of these people mentioned. And I want to add Christopher Alexander to the list (if he hasn't already been mentioned). :-) Joel On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 2:02 PM, mike myles <[email protected]> wrote: > Lot's of wonderful discussion! > > To the IxDA's mission points of Evangelism and Education, should we > work to create a "Hall of Fame" site touting the accomplishments of > innovators in computer interaction design? ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
