That paradigm has served us well since the 1980 s, but let s move on here. It just doesn t make sense anymore given the strides we ve made since then in interaction design and interface technologies. Now I remember. That sacred word consistency. Well, guess what.
All bets are off.
Your job from now on is giving people exactly what they want and need at any particular time, not making them conform to a de facto interface standard. So step back from the problem you're working on. Use your head. All signs point toward radical shifts in how we interact with each other. Communications technologies are moving at lightspeed.
