What role is the Internet of Things going to play in the coming revolution in human health?

In this episode of The Digital Life we chat about user experience for the enterprise with designer, researcher, and studio leader Kelly Goto. Enterprise users — from employees to customers to managers — face experiences that are antiquated and needlessly complicated when compared with the experience of consumer-facing software. For those large, complex businesses, government agencies, and other organizations, UX research and design can provide enterprise products with a competitive edge. What is the current state of enterprise software when it comes to UX? What is the scale and complexity of enterprise UX problems? And, most importantly, how is UX changing the way the enterprise works? We discuss all of these topics and more.

What is the connection between creative routines and output? How do our approaches to creative projects — from writing to game design to music to user experience — effect the way we produce? In this episode of the Digital Life, we discuss some of our favorite methods for digging into problem sets, and how our ways of solving them in different creative areas can and should cross-pollinate.

In this episode of The Digital Life, we discuss the latest UX news including Microsoft’s mobile strategy to encourage developers to port their Android and iOS apps to Windows, Tesla’s batteries for solar power storage, and the start of the luxury smart watch wars.
