Comments on: Interface, a Belated Review http://natecooper.net/nate2/01/30/2009/interface-a-belated-review Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:06:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: nate http://natecooper.net/nate2/01/30/2009/interface-a-belated-review/comment-page-1#comment-17849 nate Sat, 31 Jan 2009 19:06:16 +0000 http://natecooper.net/nate2/?p=816#comment-17849 It is definitely still and interesting read. It's primarily an argument about how the graphical user interface paradigm has shifted the way we think about information. I find the insistence on considering interface as an artistic medium quite fascinating. My hesitancy about the material is not that it's no longer valid or interesting but that I wish it were extended to encompass web 2.0. Many of the examples cited in the book have much, much better examples now, but it doesn't mean that the ideas are less valid. BTW there is pretty much no mention of blogging. So feel free to read!

Or perhaps only worth reading for those who are blogging and social-networking-site enthusiasts (e.g. McLuhanites, haha)? Are you suggesting that it is no longer worth reading?
