Business Week has named Don Norman as one of the world's most influential designers. He has been both a professor and an executive: he was Vice President of Advanced Technology at Apple; his company, the Nielsen Norman Group, helps companies produce human-centered products and services; he has been on the faculty at Harvard, the University of California, San Diego, Northwestern University, and KAIST, in South Korea. He is the author of many books, including The Design of Everyday Things, The Invisible Computer (MIT Press, 1998), Emotional Design, and The Design of Future Things.
If only today’s technology were simpler! It’s the universal lament, but it’s wrong. We don't want simplicity. Simple tools are not up to the task. The world is complex; our tools need to match that complexity.
Simplicity turns out to be more complex than we thought. In this provocative and informative book, Don Norman writes that the complexity of our technology must mirror the complexity and richness of our lives. It’s not complexity that’s the problem, it’s bad design. Bad design complicates things unnecessarily and confuses us. Good design can tame complexity.
Norman gives us a crash course in the virtues of complexity. But even such simple things as salt and pepper shakers, doors, and light switches become complicated when we have to deal with many of them, each somewhat different. Managing complexity, says Norman, is a partnership. Designers have to produce things that tame complexity. But we too have to do our part: we have to take the time to learn the structure and practice the skills. This is how we mastered reading and writing, driving a car, and playing sports, and this is how we can master our complex tools.
Complexity is good. Simplicity is misleading. The good life is complex, rich, and rewarding—but only if it is understandable, sensible, and meaningful.
其实没啥好说的,本书没有上两本书振聋发聩。要么就是我太浅薄不能理解其中之深奥。 没有一个明晰的脉络,大概因为这个话题本身太复杂,会扯到哲学层面上太多,诺老一向深入浅出,没有挖掘下去,整篇看完给我的感觉就是“人类需求是复杂的,因为世界是复杂的。所以技术和设计...
評分X光是医疗影像设备中外形结构最复杂的产品,这是由其功能决定的,想把这种玩意变成傻瓜相机的愿望本身就是对必要复杂的逃避。 曾有GE的经理要求:核磁共振最好要让小孩也能一看就会用,就像傻瓜相机一样,界面也最好象google一样简单......傻瓜相机,google, I-pod, I-phone, I...

評分我们的生活变得越来越复杂,我们生活在一个复杂的时代。充斥着各种工具,机器。很多时候我们对于这些工具都束手无策。科技在不断的进步,可是我们却感觉不到因为科技带来的满足感、幸福感。 为什么有这样的结果?因为这些产品虽然功能增加了、复杂了,但是它们没...
評分帶著問題讀覺得很有啓發,寫得很淺,不過角度和道理很受用
评分學校竟然讓我們開學前讀這麼那啥的書。

评分從Don Norman的書裏麵學到的核心思想是:好的design源於觀察生活。當然還是它早期的書感覺更powerful。。。
