I agree with Martin in several different ways.
I think there is a difference between offshoring labour intensive work
vs.consulting services. Software development has both, however, the
headcount involved in what can be called skilled labour in software
services is very large. Software Development
GREAT thread. Before I go all up and theoretical, I wanted to point
people to Jon Kolko's work in this regard. He is my predecessor at
SCAD as the Prof of IxD there. He has his course materials and other
thoughts on IxD education on his site:

I will be hopefully be teaching my 1-day workshop on how to apply
sketching as an invaluable design tool for interaction design on
Wednesday, Oct. 29th from 9a-5p in Manhattan. Too many UX
practitioners have not gained experience in this most important of
designer thinking and creating tools. This
For right to left scripts (languages don't have a direction, the
direction depends on the script in which the language is written) the
complete lay-out is mirrored. When designing for the web, you don't
have to worry about it. The direction property in HTML takes care of
it.
See the following
Just don't forget your friends who use screen readers. With the
button on the right, they hit a blank form with no label and don't
know what it is. Use the label tag and then shrink, sink, and hide it
under the text field with CSS.
If someone uses the site without styles, it will look like this:
I am not sure how you mean to implement the multi-parameter aspect
(does having more than one parameter necessitate the need for
multiple form fields?), but another option is to have no search
button at all. Many products (Firefox, Safari, OS X find) use a
carriage-return to submit the search
Many people expect a button, and don't know to hit return to send the
request. My parents are like this, they always click the button.

I still think that king of all User Interface films is Wim Wenders'
masterpiece, Until The End Of The World (1991).
One of the interfaces in UTEOTW is mentioned in Shedroff's and
Noessel's talk (Bounty Bear), but the film is packed with a wide
range of very clever and different kinds of user

I'm not sure that game-like interfaces are the way to go for most
software. People want to have fun, but fun comes after all the other
needs are met. One of which is getting some work done, ie,
efficiency. Most game-style interfaces make things take longer.
In the early 90's we did have various
What you're describing isn't the kind of usage of visualization and

I'm not talking about using animation and delight to get in the

This stuff is really cool, but is it the future of interface?
Certainly we will see holographs and holographic interaction, but in
