Well unless you think I am either a moron or a hypocrite, then it would stand to reason that I believe this to be point of view, not of fact. So effectively what you have stated here is something along the lines of, "no I'm not, you are". I guess I expect more from someone as experienced and seasoned as you. > And then we go down the road of it > depends, it's all personal opinion, etc., at which point, discussing > anything seems irrelevant, don't you think? > At the end of the day, I'll make this prediction: In the very near > future (let's say within ten years), those designers in the high > technology field that don't increase their skill set to create more > robust prototypes with their own hands will fall by the wayside as > those designers that do start to overtake the field. I will make a prediction as well. Most every aspect of what we do will change radically in the next ten years. Andrei, while you are occasionally misinformed, I anticipate a more guiding voice from you - and you often deliver. It was your demonstrative and absolute tone, as well as the repeated message (as if no one heard you) that triggered my comment. I have used paper prototypes with great results. There is a time for them, and a time for other types of prototypes. Various teams I have assembled have used flash, html, css and javascript for more than ten years (yes each and all of these for that long). Sometime a bit of IMHO goes a long ways. Most of us, given an opinion can come to our own conclusion. > Then obviously it won't matter who has what opinion. I beg to differ. Opinions matter a great deal when leadership is of issue.
