You asked: With that in mind I ask what are we, the new generation of designers, missing from the puzzle?
Some answers: - I got into the game before there was a lot of formal training around IxD/UX. That's the reason many of us oldsters have backgrounds that are different. - What's missing from design education IMO is the writing and communication skills from typical liberal arts education. The need to communicate in writing can't be understated, even in a world of visuals. - a solid understanding of business fundamentals can't hurt. The extent to which you can empathize with business people and their quest for profits will make you more peruasive. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
