The digital world is evolving. So my considerations were that designers should be prepared to evolve with it. For example touch screen devices are used much more now then they were 5 years ago. Most of the products I design now, are mainly for users who spend more time on a touch screen device... so does that make me out of touch with them if I spend more time on a device that is not as tactile? I certainly don't go for gimmicks or just because they are on trend... this is something I have always avoided doing. I strive to find the right solution for every problem.
