![]() ![]() Norman’s book is most relevant because human nature is essentially unchanged. But don’t let the age or state of computer science at the time of writing lead to an assumption of irrelevancy. There are human-computer interface design references, but they are very quaint, by contemporary standards. Norman’s now famous book was copy-written in 1988. Those seeking user-interface/UI design solutions, or examples of perfect human-computer interaction, will be disappointed. It’s has stood the test of time, in a category of books where very few do. No interaction designer with a serious concern for usability (as is our want) should be allowed to graduate on to later readings on the topic of user-interface / UI design, UX / UE, human factors, or any related design field, without first reading Don Norman’s book, The Psychology of Everyday Things, cover to cover. ![]()
