Sherwin Huang’s Summary

My job really is to help people to better interact with what is now known as the ubiquitous computer. Be it a mobile, a desktop application, over the internet or even by SMS. As long as it’s there is the need for someone to communicate with a computer in some shape or form, I’d be interested to see how that can be made more efficient, interesting and most importantly enjoyable. In some circumstances, this makes it easy for people to interact with each other which is the most satisfying part of the job.

Social media as the most powerful channel of information distribution that mankind has ever seen. The internet on its own was wonderful, but social media allows people to create and consume information that is directly relevant to them.

I see myself continuing down the path of interaction design, but with a greater focus on harnessing the power of social media in my projects.
