From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2007-01-13:
"I should be able to do tasks without learning a complex technology. Right now my clock tells me the time. Maybe it should also tell me the weather. And where my kids are. Today we have to learn tools; I want to make that necessity disappear." -- Donald A. Norman, cognitive scientist, quoted in Wired (issue 6.05). Norman is the author of The Design of Everyday Things.
