    low,
    yeah to an extent, if i have a plesurable experience interfacing with an object, i might derive some type of joy from it, but it won't make or break my total hapiness. i just think we put too much stock as designers into trying to illicit an emotional response from the end user. and it's fleeting.

    how much of the pleasure we receive from surrounding ourselves with beautiful products is real anyway? do they truly make us happier people? or do we get off on the fact that we have all this cool shit around us. would it make a difference if there was no one around to enjoy it with us?

    there obviously is no answer to all this, but it's fun to discuss anyway.
