- Summary
- "Two decades ago psychologist and design consultant Donald A. Norman changed the way we look at everyday objects with his book The Design of Everyday Things. Now Norman turns his critical eye to the future. Once again, he points to the perils of ignoring the human factor when designing the devices that are supposed to improve our lives. Drawing on examples from all over the world - from bicycles in Delft to kitchens in Cambridge - he offers a new approach to human-machine interaction that will prove invaluable to today's engineers and designers - and to all of us who must navigate the increasingly complex objects so central to our lives."--BOOK JACKET.
