And in even more contemporary timesdevelopers struck again: Jack Dorsey (Twitter) andMark Zuckerberg (Facebook) shaped the social mediawith their tech expertise.But then, suddenly, the age of technology ended.Fierce competition among similar (at least when itcomes to technology) products forced executives tolook for more vivid differentiation.

Luckily for all of us this can be found inuser experience design.To make an app that can be launched has never beenso easy. To succeed in a highly competitive market fullof consumers with cognitive overload and an extremelyshort attention span ... that’s another story.
