Abstract

The field of Industrial Design is a technique-art applying one which is directly influenced by the scientific and technological as well as artistic developments and artistic thinking, as it is seen in many other fields. In fact every drop that falls in the pool of science, art and technology reaches in waves every field. And today, parallel to the speed of communication this interaction is increased. Because of its nature, Industrial Design is affected by the technological developments rapidly. Our era witnessed the transition of the technology from the mechanic and mechanism technology to the electro-mechanic and from thence to the electronic and in the last twenty years to the micro-electronic technology. No other technological passing has influenced the field of design as much as the micro-electronic technology has done. While this kind of technology gives the designer a great opportunity of shaping, it also makes the means which he rests on in the processes of shaping and designing invalid. The loss of model which results from the coming of the micro-electronic technology caused a new product profile which puts product communication into the foreground and bears communicational problems and in addition to this it left the designer facing the new problem by making his means invalid.
