Thought Bill DeRouchey's Language of Interaction was relevant here: http://www.languageofinteraction.com/
As he points out designers/IxDers are the curators of the language of interaction, and our usage of symbols is part of the process of teaching them to people. A triangle for "Play" is only the accepted standard because it is, not because that symbol is inherently "play-like". I only recently heard about the 0/1 bit, but that's never interfered with my usage of a power button. His piece is really worth a read... ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
