via Matias Duarte, Head of Android Design on the Death of Mobile \u2014 Our blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There've been a number of articles recently that resonate with this idea, and the core of it is the need for design to be more user-focused than ever, but with the expanded vision of their activities and experiences being distributed throughout their lives, days, devices, and environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's the idea behind my \"Personal Digital Infrastructures (PDIs)\"\u2014which I first mentioned in User Experience of Ecosystems<\/a>\u2014and, with the forthcoming mainstreaming of wearables and The Internet of Things, it's an idea that will only become more important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
