Will the development of this instruction solve the problem that led to the need for it? What is the next big thing in Human Computer Interaction HCI or interaction design research? Why bother with design research? Can design research ever lead to radical product innovation?

    Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project, there should be a process.
