“More than a dozen variable factors could interact, with their permutations running into the thousands”
-Tom ClancyWhy oh why does everyone feel the need to use this word when 90% of the time 'reactive' is the word they should use?
Please stop whoring this word.

Fuck it, anything vaguely intellectual or conceptual and you all poo poo my thread

Does using long words like 'permutations' confuse designers?
I started the thread to find out other peoples views on the meaning of the word, becuase I find it interesting - the use of words that is.
Im just off to metallica.com with my sweat bands and nose ring. Geek my fucking arse.

How about this:
The Net is a "pull technology" not a "push technology" (like TV/Radio). Therefore the Net is based on interactivity thus = interactive.
Call me Einstein today.

Intoxicated, dont understand.
Chubba fuck off.Who dug this up anyway?
Interactive being the most missused word of the decade.
These messages on NT are interacting with each other to create a discussion but we are not interacting with NT. NT reacts to us.

The tv isn't really a push technology. You have to choose the channel after all. Most of the time you also choose between programming on different channels. People also have capabilities of time-shifting their content (vcr, pvr). I don't think you can have true push-media anymore. People are not going to accept shite shoved down their throat. Thus I would argue that the word interactive is obsolete anyway. It is true that reactive is a good word to describe much of the flashturbation out there.
