April 5th class made me think about what I take for granted. I've been opening cans of soup since I was a kid and never really thought about the process, but for someone who has never had soup in a can, the directions need to be clear cut... Makes me wonder how much more I take for granted. In EdPsy, we talked about the "logical" placement of things. For example, if you have to explain how to use something, then it isn't logical and you need to redesign the product to be logical. The soup can needs to be redisgned to "make it logical". People shouldn't have to think to make something work. A concept that we need to take into the Cyper World... People shouldn't have to think about the interface. They should be thinking about the information that you are trying to pass onto them...
