  4. What’s next? We build experiences, not interfaces.

  5. We create experiences and not merely "tasks" or isolated moments in front of screens.Experiences happen through time and space and reflect a context that's always greater than we realize.We create experiences and not “tasks” or isolated moments in front of screens.

  6. What is an experience?What are its boundaries?

  8. Experiences aren’t new.The best experiences almost always non-digital.Experiences start earlier than we expect… and last longer than we think.You may already be an Experience Design.

  12. As computers and digital devices increasingly insert themselves into our lives, they do so on an increasingly social level.

  13. The more sophisticated the use, the application, the interface, and the experience, the more important it is for computers and other digital devices to integrate fluidly into our already-established lives without requiring people to respond to technology’s needs.

  14. Interfaces must:• Be more aware of themselves• Be more aware of their surroundings and participants/audiences• Offer more help and guidance when needed, in more natural and understandable ways• Be more autonomous when needed• Be more able to help build knowledge as opposed to merely process data• Be more capable of displaying information in richer forms • Be more integrated into a participant’s work flow or information and entertainment processes• Be more integrated with other media• Adapt more automatically to behavior and conditions

  15. In short, interfaces and experiences need to be more human.

  16. People default to behaviors and expectations of computers in ways consistent with human-to-human contact and relationships.

  19. Informational sites need to excel at information organization and design. They need to be easy to understand and use. They should recognize their subjectivity.Entertaining sites need to allow people to participate and explore according to their interests. They should offer a point of view and play to our emotions and ideals..
