An examination of the complex interaction between the human mind and the machines we think with, from the legendary author of The Design of Everyday Things
"Hilarious and harrowing."--New York Times 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.
