UI design, the early years

January 2005

I never really thought of it before but the industry that i work for, in a general sense, is actually REALLY significant in changing the ways in which people live and interact in the world. In a lot of ways people are people and will react to new things based upon basic instinct, and in this way, nothing is really ‘new’ and alien enough to warrant genuine dumbfoundedness.

I suppose what’s really hitting me now is the fact that a lot of what my collegues and i do is fabricated and tested as we go along. We’re literally at the forefront, working with variables we manipulate and are able to see almost instantaneous results in the advancements in communication and exchange of ideas. It’s just amazing to think that my job entails such a huge responsibility and appreciation of this opportunity is a huge part of what keeps me going on.
