> We are giving up our last rights and freedoms for “experiences,” for the questionable comfort of “natural interaction.” This assumes intuitive UX forces you to use a product a certain way. There's no reason this has to be true. Good products can be used intuitively and can grant their users programmer-like powers. Take Google Search, for example. It's easy to use; you can largely speak to it like you would to a human -- type "what time is giants game tonight" and you'll get the answer you're looking for. But you can also use operators and other power features to perform specific and precise searches. So good UX merely gives less savvy users a leg up; it doesn't force a mediocre experience on power users.
