Autor Don Norman, Tamara Dunaeffen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 apr 1994
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
memory—the
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.
