It's a great time to get into Interaction Design

Technology is disrupting how we interact with our environments. Increasingly, we rely on devices and systems that just emerged as recently as months or weeks ago. This is an exploding field. Interaction designers are in huge demand in order to design and conceptualize how we engage with these new systems and devices.
If you are interested in design, and enjoy technology, this could be a great program for you.
