Turn Signals Are The Facial Expressions Of Automobiles Summary

Turn Signals Are The Facial Expressions Of Automobiles by Don Norman

From water faucets and airplane cockpits to the concept of real time and the future of memory, this wide-ranging tour through technology provides a new understanding of how the gadgets that surround us affect our lives. Donald Norman explores the plight of humans living in a world ruled by a technology that seems to exist for its own sake, oblivious to the needs of the people who create it. Turn Signals is an intelligent, whimsical, curmudgeonly look at our love/hate relationship with machines, as well as a persuasive call for the humanization of modern design.
