We have noticed the growing communication among intellectual disciplines that takes place around the computer. We have welcomed it, because it has brought us into contact with new worlds of knowledge—has helped us combat our own multiple-cultures isolation. This breakdown of old disciplinary boundaries has been much commented upon, and its connection with computers and the information sciences often noted. Herb Simon (Science of Design) Sciences of the Artificial 1969

The ability to communicate across fields—the common ground—comes from the fact that all who use computers in complex ways are using computers to design or to participate in the process of design. Consequently we as designers, or as designers of design processes, have had to be explicit as never before about what is involved in creating a design and what takes place while the creation is going on.

The most exciting opportunities and powerful insights belong to polymaths who defy conventional disciplinary boundaries and apply expertise developed in one discipline to another.
