What is interaction design? As technology advances, the way we communicate evolves. But it’s important not to lose ourselves and focus on enabling natural interactions.

While our design processes celebrate iteration and throwing things away, our culture scorns switching and quitting. We don’t celebrate stopping things, changing our paths, or our minds. Just the opposite. We celebrate finishing things. In our race to finish--in our race to win--we underestimate the benefits of stopping. In this talk, we put quitting under the microscope and consider its fringe benefits.
