The Donster responds


[Don Norman, replying to a peterme discussion "Is There A UI Generation Gap?"]
"Kids don't have a clue about how things work. Sure, kids can whiz through a lot of menus and commands, etc. But I understand what is happening underneath -- they are clueless. This bothers me... We don't understand that true knowledge is more than learning how to push the buttons..."
And other good points (although, as an "adult" who continues to play with new technologies, I hate the "kids are x, adults are y" stereotypes that infest these discussions).
