Unter dem Titel “The Language of Interaction: Rich Interfaces, Networks and Design Patterns” schreibt Austin Govella:

“We (mankind) didn’t survive because we’re stronger, faster or heartier. We survived because we talk fast. […]

Our evolutionary success depends on our operation as networked animals. In many ways technology is an expression of the human network, but technology doesn’t measure up. The human network uses three highly advanced interfaces capable of accurately transmitting large amounts of information: internal dialog, verbal dialog and sexual dialog. Our technologies can never transmit as much information as clearly in as little time, so we consistently and constantly evolve our technological interfaces towards the quality of our three innate dialogs. In retrospect, it was fate that we should move towards rich interfaces both on the Internet and in the physical world – Web 2.0 and ubiquitous computing.”
