Critically Examining the subjects, and rephrasing in my own words
Maybe I was writing too much and analyizing too much, instead of just keeping a regular scheduel----- Meeting Notes (2/25/13 15:06) -----Not 2 posts per chapter, but longer posts on what I found more relevant and interesting

Identification of design dimension elucidates it’s feature
About what is a computer? Intelligence: Computers can do things we cant
Physical thing we manipulate for a particular use
Media source, to play back and consume
Not alive, but evolve over time. Viruses and programs made to live without the programmer, can adapt to situation at hand
Take us places to do new things, infrastructure in which they operate is important. Key to what you can and can’t design
Look cool, be fashionable to sell. Quick to adopt, quick to be old
Problems and Ideas give designers the seed for what they’ll make. A problem being like not being able to check your email everywhere
Metaphor and Scenario. Explaining cloud computing by the cloud metaphor, or a give a place where people will want something
Work your way through the situation. Gives you insight on howit will work and what questions to anser
UI Designs and wireframes

I’m not interested in the amount of history he gives, or how certain tech was developed. Like why xerox thought this would work in 1982. I like the concepts I just presented about, and I wish it presented a little more.
As with any technology, by the time a book is printed, the whole design world can be flipped on it’s head.
He asks the question “the interaction design challenge” that “Will you want a single device that can do everything – a cellphone that includes a PDA, Camera, music player, video player, and communicator? Or will you prefer several divices with more limited functions that you can wear like jewelry or carry one or two at a time?”I think we’ve answered this question mostly, as smart phones can do all of these things, but the question remains to be seen with popularity of wearable tech (google glass, smart watches?)
Continue what I’m doing, though blogs may not be 2 about each chapter, but more the sections I find interesting.
Take advantage of Silicon valley, talk to people in these companies
