The Psychology of People and Machines
I feel like Norman's essay on the Psychology of People and Machines was a bit pessimistic. Yes, I can understand the concern that we are relying too much on technology to automatically do things for us, but that's what it's created for. We don't have to use it and as long as it's our choice, it's nothing to be afraid about: for example, the auto spellingcheck. While typing papers, is Norman suggesting we carry a dictionary on our desk as to make sure we are spelling words correctly? Some people just don't want to and that's their problem. If he doesn't want, he can always disable it and not use it. Especially with the button that allows you to pull up/down car windows. It's extremely inconvenient (and dangerous to new drivers) for drivers to roll windows with one hand as they're driving with the other. Why endanger yourself when you can do with a push of a button?
