"The interface is more than an object or a thing."
It is a "moment in time" where creators and users meet and encounter "histories, ideas, and assumptions… about themselves and about others." It is a "source of an ethical imagination that shapes everyday life in ways that are barely perceptible," yet nevertheless "establishes the contours of one's understanding of oneself and, therefore, of others."

"First, design is imagining a future and working toward it with intelligence and cleverness. We use design to close the gap between the situation we have and the one we desire. Second, design is a practice built upon making things for other people. We are all on the road together."
