	Things that make us smart by D. Norman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		One of Norman's primary concerns with technology, especially in relation to its use in schools, is the overemphasis on the experiential mode brought about by the "technologies of entertainment".
		Norman may find it useful in terms of his theory to be able to reduce complex phenomenon and relationships to more understandable proportions.
		Norman discusses the issue of learning and argues that technology can be a useful educational ally in that it has the capacity to engage learners and at the same time make them reflect.

	Knowledge Jolt with Jack: Donald Norman at EPL
		Donald Norman spoke tonight (15 Jan) on his new book, Emotional Design: Why We Love (Or Hate) Everyday Things, at Evanston Public Library.
		For those that do know, it was interesting to hear that he has continued thinking about and advancing his theories of what makes good design, rather than resting on the success of his earlier work in The Design of Everyday Things and his other writings.
		Norman suggests that great design done badly should be reviewed and made better, not thrown away, as is done by many organizations.

		Donald Norman, a retired professor of cognitive science, is bothered to no end by the fact that grappling with unfriendly objects now takes up so many of our hours.
		Such disregard, Norman suggests, leads to few objects being standardized: think of all the different kinds of unsynchronized clocks that lurk in microwave ovens, VCRs, coffee makers, and the like--and of all the different kinds of batteries needed to drive them.
		Norman's thesis is that when designers fail to understand the processes by which devices work, they create unworkable technology.

	An Interview With Don Norman
		The concept of Electronic Performance Support is evolving, in part, from the recognition that bad system design (particularly user interface design) cannot be remedied with training after the fact, nor can organizations afford the continuous training that is associated with complex computer tools and the work they support.
		But Donald Norman is not an EPSS practitioner per se.
		These are some of the common concerns of Don Norman and EPSS practitioners, which provides the backdrop for our conversation.

	SS > NF reviews > Donald A. Norman
		Norman explains how these markets differ, why the bare over-general purpose PC can probably never become the kind of product the average consumer wants, how the answer is to move the appropriate computational power inside smart special-purpose "information appliances", and why this is going to be a painful process for the industry.
		But Norman makes his customary trenchant points, and draws some good parallels with other similar technology changes and industrial blind-spots in the past -- such as electric motors, and the phonograph.
		In the second half of the book, Norman concentrates on emotions applied to robotics: how robots would need to discern our emotions (to get feedback on how well they are performing, and to anticipate our desires), and why they would need emotions of their own (to function in a complex world of partial information).

		Norman wrote this book well before the Windows operating system was as familiar as the Golden Arches--which only reinforces the idea that certain basic usability principles transcend all forms of objects--from glass doors to Windows Explorer.
		Normans voice is full of humor and a real passion for the subject, and that voice is conveyed very well by the book.
		Norman presents all of his points with anecdotes; he relies on both real stories (personal and recounted) and hypothetical situations to lead the reader into a think-tank state of mind about how we use and are used by the designs all around us.
