I don't know if it is possible to take a longer view when designing things and NOT choose terms, icons etc that will become outdated (telephone icon, anyone?) but I suspect that the answer is No. What should the interface look like today so that we will not have outdated terms and ideas in 30 years? Hmm... No one has a brain that big, or that much time on their hands. | |
