There’s an underlying beauty in the objects we use throughout the day. They were conceived, meticulously prepared by someone (who we’ll call the designer) - especially for us. We become attached to these objects because of this underlying purpose of making us feel special. We know, even subconsciously, when someone paid attention to our experience as a user.

This is true in many of the things and gadgets we use today. Think of the iPod as an example: the navigation, how it works and particularly how it feels - it has clearly become an object of desire, and its not all because it can play mp3. It is easy to say the work of the industrial designer, interaction designer and graphic designer are usually recognized by the general public.

Online user experience?

I wonder if that’s true for those of us who take part in designing online experiences. How attached do people become to their online experiences, and how much do they realize that there was probably someone thinking about them all the way through its creation? Are user experience designers background players? Do we stand behind and observe, react and enhance experiences without being noticed?

There are no conclusions to this short story, only one question:
When was the last time you felt attached to anything coming to you from a computer?
