9. Can we make the invisible visible? The more present interfaces are in our lives, the less we perceive them.
Don’t use emoticons: just send oral-spoken messages to say you hate it! “I’m blind cos I see images”
Use your smartphone with your toe
What stood out to me about this proposition is how true it is especially considering what we would consider an interface. All of my household appliances include an interface regardless if its the smart washing machine or the toaster oven. Each of the devices contain a means of facilitating human and machine interaction; however, considering how ordinary and common these objects are they normally wouldn’t be considered to have an interface. Additionally, the idea of emoticons as interfaces also stood out to me as they are a means of enabling better human conversation via text. This made me think of texting etiquette as whole such as capitalization and punctuation as means of interface. However, instead of being decided upon by a designer, this form of interface was developed organically over time.
