The Design of Everyday Things Chapter 1

Sometime the designers got too caught up with how the product is going to look-like and forget about the functionality of the product. It is hard sometime to create thing that can adjust to everyone needs. The designers often should play the double roles: the role of the users and the role of the designer. Often time designer seem to forget the role of the users. Not just the telephone mentioned in the chapter, but also many other electronic devices that have added so many other extra features on them. Sometime the more functions added, the more problems it created. Often these functions base pass the main function of the device suppose to do.
