Interaction Design: What is it, and How can we use it? 

Interaction design is about shaping digital things for people to use. It is the practice of designing interactive digital products, environments, systems and services. It connects the digital words to the human one. The concepts and principles are relatively the same in good interactive design. This article gave some great examples for some of these such as:
Motion, Space, Time, Sounds, Aesthetics, Space, Color, Typography, Contrast and Readability. These are all pretty self taught in understanding through New Media. There is a phycological way in which the brain can respond positively to color contrast, sounds, and all those examples to which can be put in an interactive product, environment, systems and services. Going over these concepts will definitely further ones understanding in interaction design.
