Chapter 6
Summary
This chapter once again talks about the fact of design with respect of the users in mind. The designer must always be aware of the impending errors that users will have with their product based off of misunderstanding and poor design choices. Many times designers think that they will create their product with almost perfection when in fact this almost never happens. Also, technology currently doesn't allow for a good natural evolution of products because of the way that designers put out new products. The design of a new product should be based off the lessons learned on the last iteration, but almost always the next iteration is started during the development cycle of the current product.
Discussion
The chapter is an important thing to think about, but I think that this far in the book the topic is now being beaten like a dead horse. Maybe I just do not realize that the author is trying to show all the problems that have occurred in a wide range of products and it is not just a small problem that can be glossed over. However, I believe the point has been made and maybe more positive ways to fix the situation need to be introduced rather than the approach that the author is currently using.
