內容簡介: |
In Things That Make Us Smart, Donald A. Norman explores the
complex interaction between human thought and the technology it
creates, arguing for the development of machines that fit our
minds, rather than minds that must conform to the machine. Humans
have always worked with objects to extend our cognitive powers,
from counting on our fingers to designing massive supercomputers.
But advanced technology does more than merely assist with thought
and memorythe machines we create begin to shape how we think and,
at times, even what we value. Norman, in exploring this complex
relationship between humans and machines, gives us the first steps
towards demanding a person-centered redesign of the machines that
surround our lives.
