The way I have always looked at it is this: if you make an experience as elegant and as usable as possible then you are making life just a little easier for the users of the technology you are designing. Does that make the world a better place? Show me the data… oh, right, there isn't any (boy would THAT be a research project…). WIll it make people less frustrated and potentially less likely to come home and yell at their wife and kids and kick the dog? I hope so. That idea definitely motivates me.
