yeah. it'd be nice to think that we did head in that direction. unfortunately I think it's a fair way off just yet. When cosumers/businesses begin caring about their products and purchases (again) and budgets allow for such exploration/development, THEN perhaps you will see an increase in 'tactile' (smile in the mind) type design. Until then you'll keep seeing the mass produced, cheap run, "this will be in the bin tomorrow" attitude filter through most if not all design production.
A damn shame, and one we are all responsible for.
