"While friction in high-tech experiences connotes poor design, in the analog realm, friction is how our materials talk back to us. When we feel the resistance of a push or gauge distance with an echo, we use physical intuition to interpret feedback from the world around us. Logically, this type of lo-fi reasoning guides studio practice in art and craft-based fields.

However, using strategies like origami, technology labs are also seeking ways to make complex problems tangible—to open then up to physical intuition. We may universally think best when we think with our hands. By engaging abstractions in this manner, designers can find surprising possibilities for projects hidden in plain view."
