		<description><![CDATA[On the recently-described death of interaction design.<p class="first" /><span class="dropcap">J</span>ust spent the last few weeks updating my portfolio and website (I’m looking for work&#8212;hire me!). So I’m rather late to the party inspired by Ideo founder Bill Moggridge’s comment that interaction design as a discipline may now be unnecessary.<p />The story goes that Moggridge said as much at an SF screening of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.objectifiedfilm.com/">Objectified</a>. Jumping off from Moggridge’s comment, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cooper.com/journal/2009/04/is_ixd_a_dead_end_job.html">Tim McCoy</a> at Cooper concluded that interaction design “as a discrete service offering or a career path,” is a dead-end job.<p />I couldn’t agree more. I hope to spend more time thinking, and writing, about my reasons. But first: My initial response to the surrounding commentary is a sense that we're being disingenuous. A lot of response has been thoughtful and considered (and considerate) of course. I'm reminded though of the early debate about the definition of IA. And I wonder why people seem to dance around the “what if” question. What if it is true that interaction design as a discrete role or career is dead? What then?<br />
