I'm still trying to figure out why Web and digital design in general seems to have abandoned high modernism. Many of the problems with the design mentioned have to do with this abandonment. I really feel we need a new Bauhaus school for digital objects. Or at least another Loos running around yelling about ornamentation interactions are crimes ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornament_and_Crime http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornament_and_Crime)

I'm not sure it's abandonment as much as a huge cognitive dissonance. Designers are always using that Steve Jobs quote about how design is "not how it looks, it's how it works", and the Dieter Rams principles, all of which are fairly functionalist. It's kind of puzzling, really.
