where is Interaction Design going?

I would like to have a career being what Donald Norman describes in his book “The Design of Future Things”. Where, in his book, he describes the house that “wakes up” when you wake up: when you walk down the hall, the lights come on, and when you go to make eggs, the fridge tells you that you can’t because the toilet has been taking urine samples and so you can’t eat the eggs because your cholesterol is too high, haha. I’d love to be responsible for creating that. It is like psychology, sociology and design combined – just a few of my favorite things.

That’d be such a sweet job. Reminds me of Hal in “2001: A Space Odyessy”, type deal. Hal is super freaky, but a career in that kind of work is just awe-inspiring to me.
