Summary/Abstract: The rhythm of technological progress and innovation is noticeably accelerating during the last few decades, in spite of temporary periods of stagnation or crises. As for any branch of human creative activity, strongly associated with technology, this fact also presents a permanent challenge for the field of contemporary design, with regard to its goals, methods, achievements, past and future. One of the main problems of design consists in synchronizing itself with this outstandingly dynamic technological progress and in harmonizing technology with our human needs and changing environment, as well as in creatively contributing to it. One of the most important tasks of design lies in rendering this especially complex and rapidly changing field intelligible and livable for everyday people. Accordingly, the synthetic function of design also means transitivity, interaction and communication in practice.
