Designers need to make the right interactive choices

Designers have to make the right interactive choices, to select those or high-end or low-end interactive technology.
The important point is that you need to know what is high-end and what is low-end.

It is the old saying that people who can invent electric lights now don't think that he is a cow or even a bit silly.
This gives the designer a higher request, the first to "know".
To use a bizarre product, it becomes a necessary work for an interactive designer.

To feel the success of products and unsuccessful products, feel what they provide users with what is good, bad and ugly.
Good interactive but unsuccessful products, good products but bad interaction, are possible.

At the same time, good interaction has a time limit. To update iterations as the user upgrades:

Baidu is very conservative in its innovation. (First of all, this is not to say bad things about Baidu.)
Because many of the internet companies in China have not even the awareness of innovation.
By the way, "Google" exit China should have no bird relationship with Baidu

I would like to say a phenomenon: the use of flash attitude.
In 4, 5 years ago, Flash is a trend of gadgets, you still can not see the flash on the Web page of large-scale applications.
Ads are gif or JPG and so on picture format, and Baidu's MP3 online player, using Windows with its own player.
Flash is dangerous to change, if there are 2% users do not have Flash Player installed, how to do?
This user is also a huge amount for Baidu.

Conservative is normal, the products have been successful do not want to step forward, to death in the unknown road.

But now, it is not difficult to find, Baidu's flash technology used more and more, advertising, players, games and so on.
First, the user's interactive environment began to change, the use of Firefox users increased,
and Windows brought the player to Firefox inside to play, need to download redundant plug-ins.
This can cause inconvenience to some browser users. Baidu can not solve the problem, need to ask Microsoft and Firefox.
Second, flash users more and more widely, the function is also good.
Third, "Google" music, video has adopted the way of Flash Player. (hehe ~)
I think, the big side is only for these three reasons, Baidu will have to do so slowly adjustment.

If we assume that the ' sliverlight ' software starts to burst in 10 years, and captures the market share of Flash.
Then use flash for page interaction and then start to fall behind.
The knowledge of interactive designers must be iterative, and must keep pace with the times.

Try a variety of products, and constantly update the Internet information, interactive knowledge, to maintain a keen sense of smell.
I think it's a good way to become a better interactive designer.
