One quick note before I drop this thread.
"Microwave ovens" has become something of a whipping boy as an example
of something interaction designers might design. I was of course
referring to the behavior and controls of a microwave oven--not the
form or the mechanics of a microwave oven. I was referring to only
part of the device, not its entirety. I wasn't conflating interaction
design with industrial design, just that I believe that appliances
such as microwave ovens (and dishwashers and stoves, etc.) with
digital displays and controls can benefit from and even be driven by
interaction design. Obviously, they have been built for decades now
with very little input from our field.
