Prescriptive and descriptive labels →We've internalized the "men" and "women" labels to represent toilet facilities. That's their functional role, which both have in common. The difference dictated by this labeling system is in who should be using each room for this function: one room is set aside for women and another for men. In other words, these are prescriptive labels; they're nudging us towards a particular behavior in the environment. But here's another system that is not as prescriptive as that. Of crossed paths →My very first job in UX wasn't even called "UX". While still in school I landed the role of Information Architect. Things were still so ill-defined in this space at that time that it wasn't unusual for me to have moments of wondering: "Where am I? How did I get here? Where is this job going to take me?" Being an information architect at an interactive agency in an era where the Internet wasn't much more than an unconfirmed hypothesis was… risky.
