the digitalization of our daily lives and the proliferation of mobile devices give us an unprecedented amount of insight into the context of many scenarios and situations. we are used to GPS devices that sense we are driving and provide us with the exact location, but this type of experience was impossible a few years back.
the second factor is that as we use more natural user interfaces, such as speech or gestures, where much of the tangible interface might not even be present, intent might be clearer because the user literally states it.
finally, recent advances in neuroscience, behavioral economics, cognitive psychology, and anthropology allow us to understand how our brains work and how we make decisions.

unless the design function in business bureaucracy is so structured that direct access to the ultimate decision-maker is possible, trying to produce good work is very often an exercise in futility. ignorance of the history and methodology of design — how work is conceived, produced, and reproduced — adds to the difficulties and misunderstandings.
design is a way of life, a point of view. it involves the whole complex of visual communication: talent, creative ability, manual skill, and technical knowledge. aesthetics and economics, technology and psychology are intrinsically relate to the process.
