First, I'm considering user experience as an umbrella that contains IA and IxD. So, thinking of joint probabilities, UX will have a larger impact than either IA or UX because it's the union of those two and more. Second, I'm taking a longer perspective - think decades, rather than next year. I consider the UX label as a variable in a larger equation that has a lasting impact on the cultures I listed here. We tend to see in a fish-eye lens that today's activities and undertakings are most important. But, that fades over decades, and we will have the advantage of hindsight to see how UX - and its sub-practices - have delivered value. -Jay Hey Peter,

IA and IxD? Larger reach, yes. Bigger scope? Yes! Larger value? Mwaah. P.S.: Link to IAI is broken (extra http://) and trailing "/en/" is not required; site is set up to redirect people to preferred language version. ““User Experience” is simply the current moniker for something many of us believe to have larger value”

The actions of the user might be personal/individual or social, but the driver to interact in the first place is cultural. It also makes a case for more active and leveled involvement of the producer (as opposed to the user); not being a director, but a 'primus inter pares' - first among equals. I very much like your thesis: the whole thing is cultural. The actions of the user might be personal/individual or social, but the driver to interact in the first place is cultural.
