=========================
Every Screen is a Touchscreen
The era of the mouse and desktop is quickly fading yet many designers are still approaching user interfaces with dated design principles and patterns. Designers now need to account for a multitude of new device types and input methods. Michael exposes some of the complexities and opportunities of this new world and suggest that assuming all screens are touchscreens is a necessary first-step to a successful web design.

Bio
Michael Lowry is convinced his own title is obsolete. As a Design Director of Mobile at Fidelity Investments, Michael spends his time persuading clients and colleagues that the line between desktop and mobile is no longer meaningful in a multi-device world. Michael started his design journey back when hit counters were still en vogue and has had stints at Lycos, Thomson Reuters and a handful of start-ups. When not thinking about design, Michael spends his time chasing down the perfect croissant around Boston, MA.
