Sometimes we have the perception that if it\u2019s been there for a long time, it should be good.\u00a0We have created standards that help us not to think about the interaction itself, but focus on what we want, and the result. However, as we deal with these interactions many times each day, their design has a big impact in our lives. It&#8217;s part of the designers&#8217; role to analise how\u00a0appropriate\u00a0are these interactions in our days.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to dedicate a short video to these small interactions.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"480\" height=\"270\" data=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9968270&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;fullscreen=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9968270&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;fullscreen=1\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p>The same thinking could be applied to everyday objects.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ishback.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/knives.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-410\" title=\"knives\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.ishback.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/knives.png\" alt=\"knives\" width=\"480\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.ishback.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/knives.png 683w, http:\/\/blog.ishback.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/knives-300x148.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A knife today has exactly the same shape (and sometimes same materials) than thousands of years ago.
