"It is the duty of machines and those who design them to understand people. It is not our duty to understand the arbitrary, meaningless dictates of machines."

#DonNorman, The #Design of Everyday Things

🎙 Throwback Spotlight — Don Norman on Design That Matters

My Brave UX episode beside Don Norman’s, in the For You section.

Same shelf. Same series. Still processing.

Big thanks to Brendan Jarvis for making these conversations matter.

Very well put.

"The phone is not smart enough to know–the artificial unintelligence is not smart enough to know–when to piss off & leave you alone. It has, in common with its inventors, no smarts for reading the room. Is there any way of communicating with these devices that goes: you will do this, this & this when I ask but you will never, ever, for any reason at all, do or talk to me ever again about doing anything else."
