New Terms:
- Interaction Design: “Interaction Design is the creation of a dialogue between a person and a product, system, or service. This dialogue is both physical and emotional in nature and is manifested in the interplay between form, function, and technology as experienced over time.” - John Kolko
- The Media Equation: The theory that people tend to treat computers as if they were either real people or real places
