Interaction design is one of the most challenging area in digital space. Especially when we understand the context of complex lifestyle we are living. It is my try to understand what is happening in the area of interaction design and how design principles & psychological approaches can help us on this area. Originally this presentation created for present in person in front of a group of people hence you may find some gaps in continuity. I am in a process in fixing these gaps - meanwhile please let me know your views and opinion on the topic / presentation.
