The Revolution Will Be Data-Driven

The personal computer revolution brought tremendous changes in how we use technology. Now, new tools are changing how we think about technology.

Design teams benefit not only from improved processing power, but a dramatically greater scope of data collection. We have much more data to help make decisions.

Data about interface design, for example, includes much more than user acceptance testing or tracking instrumentation. We can now use a broad range of sources, including the Internet of Things, new connectivity and communication protocols such as MQTT, layers and layers of networked sensors, cameras, and other tracking devices, as well as the vast sea of unstructured data from social media and elsewhere.

Finding meaning in these disparate data sources, however, requires mastering new tools and methodologies.

Design-centric, human-focused methodologies are being assisted by the latest generations of tools such as natural language processing, visual recognition, deep learning, and various aspects of artificial intelligence. With them, we can more confidently make decisions to help our users get the most from our applications.
