Gavin Nelsonthe Apple Human Interface Guidelines from 1987 is full of little gold nuggets:
> People aren't trying to use computers—they're trying to get their jobs done.
another classic from the 1987 HIG that made me think of @rmondello's classic "best feature apple ever made" feature:
> Users rely on recognition, not recall; they shouldn't have to remember anything the computer already knows.
Metafrastis@gn @rmondello I love it, thanks for pointing to the document. I think the following paragraph will be relevant when Apple releases the VR device:
An interface is not merely a visual display—in fact, it's possible to have an interface with no visual display at all. A human interface is the sum of all communication between the computer and the user. It's what presents information to the user and accepts information from the user. It's what actually puts the computer's power into the user's hands.
