“Responses: A Brief Rant on the Future of Interactive Design” Response

I appreciated the question on whether Victor was advocating for further use of the stylus, physical keyboard, sticks and rocks. He answered that he was not, that he was advocating for a dynamic medium to see, feel and manipulate things. I wish Victor went further into explaining what he meant by this dynamic medium, although it was a ‘rant’ and there was a point in him providing no solution, I was hoping he could still provide some sort of example for greater understanding of his argument. I also found Victor’s view on “Waving My Hands In The Air” interesting, he didn’t find it positive as it throws off one’s proprioceptive senses. Lastly, I found the “finger-blind” comment interesting as I have noticed people believe in the intelligence of the human species when they see scenarios such as little kids playing with an iPad. They view the action with a sense of pride. However, if we don’t use our fingers in childhood, the rich network of nerves become impoverished which actually has an impact on one’s development. Intelligence can be misused in so many ways.
