“The unique identifier is the leverage point with which to access and manipulate the whole information shadow in relation to similar shadows.”
While Kuniavsky advises that we view information as one of many design materials (like wood and carbon fiber) from which devices can be made, he also highlights its role as “the core material in creating user experiences.”
