Introduction
Technology has been a significant component in design and interaction. With the use of technology, the ways in which designers interact with each other has changed considerably. Moreover, technology has changed the way designers come up with their work due to advancements in computing technology and the development of software that offers greater versatility and innovation. . Digital design is the leading and the most widely adapted form for designers these days facilitated by technologies developed in order to ensure better delivery of service. The rise in technological advancements changed the concept of digital design in today’s contemporary business environment. With 3-D and other information technology aspects, there is a need to ensure that the issues faced by designers today are put in place to facilitate current practices development of designs. This paper will focus on the different ways in which technology has helped the designing industry. It will also focus on the different ways in which technology has helped the designers to interact and share information.
Analysis
Technology has changed many perspectives interaction between the different processes of design and technology. The Bigger Picture is that computers and development of sophisticated software have reformed interaction for designers and the art specialists. It is important to understand the requirements and the aspects of the design procedures that need to be done. The advancement in computing technology along with the development of software offer designers greater control and edge to designers.
The designers use the new technology available to increase their effectiveness as well as use better methods of creating designs that enriches the design quality as well as offers access to limitless possibilities. The use of the internet has enabled the sharing of ideas that has enabled people to access better ways in which to undertake design. Technology has enabled the management and enhancement of new ideas as its offers the designers with greater versatility in creating the designs. Through the use of technology, various aspects of communication and design building have changed. It has been articulated that there are different ways in which the people can interact with one another. In information technology, the development of the different technologies is viewed with the use of technology. It isimportant to understand the different perspectives in which technology can come up and enhance the quality of communication as well as offer innovative and reliable methods to facilitate the communication between people.
Robotics is a new way in which designing manifests itself. With the use of the various technologies, it is now possible to come up with new ways in order to achieve a task. Tasks in the aspect that there is a need to understand the way objects interact in space and come up with the different perspectives of the design process. For example, the designer to produce designs the way they want uses multiple input sources in a computer such as the mouse, digital pens, wearable gears, etc. There are digital scanners and printers that are connected to a computer in order to have versatility to the designers. It is one of the requirements that will be needed in the design process.
Technology has been seen to be used in the development of artwork that enables people who are interested in design making access platforms of various sources to create and re-create designs with ease as well as greater innovation. The works of authors and designers can be seen to be participatory. There has been the definition of ceramic boundaries where people can understand the developments of the works that has been put in place.
There is a new way in which interaction has been enabled with the use of technology. It is now possible to look at ways in which materials interact with the use of technology. Production and fiction have been considered to be changing with the use of technology. It is evident with the way Ai Wei Wei, Wael Shawky and Meekyoung Shing have in their work. The work of Ai Wei Wei in the presentation regarding the sunflower in Tate Modern was meant to show the contemporary issues that are found in art and design. It shows the contemporary issues that are found in place. After the development of these arts, there was then the integration of art and craft in the development of arts and culture. The artists tried to bring the interaction process of a singular entity and the masses and the role of technology in these interactions. There is a very important technology for 3-D printing. This technology has helped to understand the interaction process of the different modules working together. The argument of how things are made is what makes this paper more interesting. With the use of technology, there has been concern on how things interact more than how things are made. The way things interact is seen to be more important than how things interact in the whole perspective. The old techniques of having things and creativity were affected by the new education systems and the study of how things worked and interacted. With the use of technology and new systems of education, there are new developments that have been put in place. Students are now able to enhance their creativity and different aspects of development (Oreglia, Liu, & Zhao, 2011).
Technology has also affected the creative processes of most students. There is emergence of some technologies that have destroyed the way students create and imagine scenarios. One of such technologies is 3-D. With the use of 3D, everything has been done by technology and the students are not able to interact with a given technology in the entire process. Technology has been used to make objects with the guide of amazing technologies. These technologies have simplified the whole process where the students and the artists were required to think over the entire process. It is no longer a requirement to have the entire thinking process and have new ways in which the arts and objects are being produced (Siegel, 2012).
Communications and technology
Technology has also changed the communication between people by introducing new methods of interaction between people. People are now able to use technology to interact in ways that enables them to have better and enhanced interaction procedures. With the use of technology, people are now able to use platforms that have allowed them to interact with one another and have ways in which it has successful interaction in the world. Face book, Twitter, and other social network platforms have enabled people to make use of social space for enhanced procedures. It is one of the ways in which to enhance development and interaction between people from varying cultures and regional settings. With the use of these technologies, a wider and bigger audience is able to communicate over cross-cultural context.
The use of social networks enables people to reach places that they have not been able to reach using the traditional means of advertising. Many people have made use of the social networks, which has increased audience and can be reached with advertising. The communicating patterns and habits of people these days have taken a major shift, deviating away from the conventional means of communication (Bijker et al., 2012). The mode of interaction has changed because of lack of intimate relationships that people used to have in the past. In the past, people used to meet face to face and the mode of interaction encouraged more personal and intimate communications with the people (Kilbourne, 2012). With the use of technology and communication platforms, it is becoming harder and harder to have closer communication. The communications and the relationships that is enhanced with the use of the current technologies that is there in the world today are not intimate and there are no emotions. It is common to see people cutting off communications with their friends without any emotional pain that is a common phenomenon seen to be developing these days.
Technology is growing at an unprecedented pace and there is no way in which these can be changed. Most artists have come to embrace the way technology is changing many of the aspects that have been seen in the world. The ways in which technology is changing has helped in eth enhancement and development of science in the whole plethora. The interaction in the virtual world has helped in building relationships between artists (Knapp, Hall, &Horgan, 2013). Modern craftsmen and women are now able to interact with the use of platforms and collaboration platforms. It has enabled the development and enhancement of creating new ideas. With the development of the virtual world and new ways of undertaking collaboration between the artists, it is now possible to discuss new ideas with distant people. It is now important to understand the development and the enhancement of the process of interaction in the world. People can understand the entire process (Healy et al., 2010).
Reflection
In my experience with the role of technology, I have been able to get new ideas and imagination has been made simple. With the use of technology, I have been able to modify and enhance the old designs with the use of technology and the internet. With the internet, I have been able to understand the designs and their complexities that have been done in the past and appreciate how these designs have been changed with the changing technology. I have also been able to understand the different roles in which technology has changed the interaction media in the world. I have also been able to exchange ideas and interact with the other artists that offered me a greater insight on making designs with richer quality as well as representing a stronger message in my content. The modern way in which communication has been made possible has been one of the outstanding achievements that have been made with communication. A case study of the use of Face book is a point to note in this perspective. I have been able to understand a wide range of ideas from different artists. These ideas have changed the way I view things and the way I understand the design process. I have been able to understand the different roles that technology has been seen to change the design process.
Conclusion
The development of design has been enhanced with the use of technology. There has been an enhancement in the design process where people are now able to understand the different platforms in which they can interact with one another. Technology has been seen to understand the different ways in which to interact with one another.The Bigger Picture is that the technology has enabled artists and designers to interact and share information.
