Lunatic fringe conspiracy theory tells us that societies evolve to the 
stage where everything not proscribed is prescribed... everything not 
compulsory is banned. Is there a similar process in design? Will we 
have specialist PDA/Smartphone interface designers (oops, too late for 
that!), specialist catfood tin designers, and so on? How specialised do 
you think it will actually get in reality? And what of the designers 
who specify the specialities - dare I say it, metadesigners?

Perhaps the punctuated-designers will spin in ever tighter Venn diagram 
circles until they finally disappear up their own colons?

Cheers, Andrew
