What Is Interactive Design?

As the name states, Interactive design is the “designing of interactions”. “Interaction” is when two things have an effect on each other. These interactions can be between more than one person or between people and computers.An example of interaction is a conversation - when one talks about an interesting topic, the other will listen and respond. This response is what interactivity is about. If there was no response, you might as well talk to a wall. In terms of interactive design, this interaction is similar, the user feedback is the key factor, - A user interacts with a product, such as clicking on a link, and the product gives a response by sending the user to the link.

And why is this important?
