Final Paper

So far this semester we have explored many facets of design that have gotten us to broaden our horizon of what design is and what the role of a designer is. For our final paper I think it would be interesting for each person to write about what they believe the most overlooked or underutilized aspect of interaction design is. What is something we should be more consciously integrating into our work? This could be thinking about the impact a product has after a person stops interacting with it, thinking more critically about how we evaluate success of a design, or thinking about long term as opposed to short term impact.
