"More interactive" is not a user benefit. Anyone who's ever had to complete a mandatory compliance training applet knows that it's actually an enormous detriment.

Your "digital experience" can be a static HTML file. Really.
Clicking creates high cognitive load, but is the most common interaction and always defaulted to.

Click between pages. Click to open a modal. Click to navigate the modal's carousel. Click to expand the accordion.

I had a phase like that too - but I was in 2nd year of undergrad.
Scrolling & reading will always be the best interaction technique.

Moving the cursor is a 4-step, 2-dimensional exercise. Hunt for what you want. Look back at the cursor. Drag it to the area. Click. Touch is not much better.

Scrolling is 1-dimensional. So is text. Foolproof.

Hot take: "Copy and paste" is the most influential interaction technique for an Internet of freely-flowing code, text, and images. The "share" function preferred by the walled gardens of mobile devices has bent the arc of how information spreads more than any other technology.
Of course, now that every website is a Single Page App, we've brought this curse back to the Web at-large.

You see an image? You may no longer Right Click and Save As. It is guarded by powerful magics - you may only Share the link so that the ad impressions are fed.
Even if you speak the language of the Web, you can no longer negotiate passage through the land of Divs and grab the URL to the resource. This looks like a video source, but if you try and access it, you will only grasp empty air.

One-way door decision: irrevocable. Do copious research before you do this, and have a plan B for the plan B.

Two-way door decision: reversible. It's ok to just do it, and learn whether you were right after the fact.

But there is a third kind of decision this framework misses.
I don't want to call them "three-way door" decisions so I'll settle for quantum decisions - decisions where the very act of doing *anything* changes the calculus.

You can make the decision, but results are uncertain. You can undo it/redo it, but the outcome will be different.
Most "two-way door" decisions are actually this kind of decision. I can go outside to see if it's raining, but I can never return to the initial conditions of not having gone out. I can return an ugly suit, but people will remember me having worn it.
