From 1970 to 2020, personal computing has evolved from belonging only to an elite group to many individuals owning multiple high-technology products. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">As new technologies continue to emerge (AR &amp; VR, automation, and AI, to name a few) and \u201cgood user experiences\u201d become table stakes (with a more defined best practices, more academic programs, and companies that allow anyone to build a good site right out of the box), we must not forget that nothing can replace an informed, tactical, and intentional information architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Visual design is the most obvious layer of any user experience, but even a world-class visual design cannot beat out a poorly informed, poorly structured website. Information Architecture exists beyond shiney new front-end languages and in fact, exists in many unrecognized areas of our world, such as grocery stores and bedroom closets. Regardless of technological advancements and latest design trends, information architecture remains an indispensable component of a successful site or application.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, October 8, 2:30-5pm CDT.
