I think many people involved in IT in one way or another get caught up in the gadgetry of it all and forget that humans are driven by their five senses and not the gee-whiz techno-lust.

We humans like things that look good and feel good.

Not to irony-pun, but it’s human nature to get caught up in the technology.

I have a saying I’ve made for myself when doing system design: the human is part of the system. Most in technology forget this, they think of every other part except the human.

The human is itself many parts: the eyes, ears, brain, fingers, emotions. I only think it natural to think of speakers/TV’s/remote controls/touchpads/eyes/ears/brain/fingers.

If there is inefficiency between the user/brain and the technology/interface then the system bogs down.

I think Jobs inherently knew this.
