The future of UX, CX, and EX are entwined in one big X … get ready.

What are we talking about when we talk about UX? That question has been central to user experience since its inception, some 25 years ago, when Don Norman popularized the term by giving himself the title of User Experience Architect at Apple.

Over that same span of time, UX Magazine has been exploring, promoting, and discussing the realm of user experience design (pre-dating wikipedia’s first mention of “UX” by roughly 5 years). Where the focus of UX was initially on improving the overall experience people had with computers, which were then rather obtuse in most ways, the idea of user experience has now grown to encompass not just the experiences people have with computers and computer programs, but also the experiences customers and employees have with organizations and, as digital interactions have become ubiquitous, how we experience the world at large.

Ideas In Brief

UX Magazine has been at the forefront of experience design for more than 20 years. In that time, the very notion of UX has changed significantly. What was once the purview of a group of niche designers lobbying for a seat at the table with other business concerns, UX now exists at the intersection of customer experience management, employee experience, and the broader management of business and technology.

As technology continues to become more sophisticated and pervasive, experience design is something everyone should be thinking about. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the move toward digital being the primary interface point between most consumers and businesses—a move that was already underway with advanced hyperautomation and AI-powered conversational interfaces becoming viable solutions. As we enter into the era of what Gartner calls “total experience” it’s the fundamental tenets of user-centered design that will best serve organizations and users of every stripe (both internal and external). We look forward to continuing our reporting from these frontlines.
