[Olia Lialina talk about terminology in UX]

• IPAD commercial - Marketing concept that the technology is invisible. Why would we want it to be invisible and to use it without noticing we are noticing it? Why are we not educating for the fact that computers are machines with systems who are designed by someone.
• Changing the word computer with technology
• Changing the name of the interface with experience
• Affordance - in experience design is to make things easier for people. This leaks into media theory that refers to the affordance of media which is dangerous.
