You didn't offer a solution. Yes, that's why I called it a rant, not an essay — it describes a problem, not an idea. (And FWIW, that's not the sort of thing I typically publish, or want to.) The solution isn't known, and I didn't think making stuff up would help. The point of the rant was that the solution will be discovered through long research, and that research won't happen without an awareness of the problem. My intent was to hopefully coax a few potential researchers and funders into tangible interfaces, dynamic materials, haptics, and related fields that haven't been named yet. If that happens, then mission accomplished. http://worrydream.com/ABriefRantOnTheFutureOfInteractionDesign/responses.html http://worrydream.com/ABriefRantOnTheFutureOfInteractionDesi...
