Business Week has named Don Norman as one of the world's most influential designers. He has been both a professor and an executive: he was Vice President of Advanced Technology at Apple; his company, the Nielsen Norman Group, helps companies produce human-centered products and services; he has been on the faculty at Harvard, the University of California, San Diego, Northwestern University, and KAIST, in South Korea. He is the author of many books, including The Design of Everyday Things, The Invisible Computer (MIT Press, 1998), Emotional Design, and The Design of Future Things.
If only today’s technology were simpler! It’s the universal lament, but it’s wrong. We don't want simplicity. Simple tools are not up to the task. The world is complex; our tools need to match that complexity.
Simplicity turns out to be more complex than we thought. In this provocative and informative book, Don Norman writes that the complexity of our technology must mirror the complexity and richness of our lives. It’s not complexity that’s the problem, it’s bad design. Bad design complicates things unnecessarily and confuses us. Good design can tame complexity.
Norman gives us a crash course in the virtues of complexity. But even such simple things as salt and pepper shakers, doors, and light switches become complicated when we have to deal with many of them, each somewhat different. Managing complexity, says Norman, is a partnership. Designers have to produce things that tame complexity. But we too have to do our part: we have to take the time to learn the structure and practice the skills. This is how we mastered reading and writing, driving a car, and playing sports, and this is how we can master our complex tools.
Complexity is good. Simplicity is misleading. The good life is complex, rich, and rewarding—but only if it is understandable, sensible, and meaningful.
首先這本書的名字起得太討巧,《如何管理復雜》。但裏麵的內容會有些莫名其妙,結構安排也沒什麼邏輯性。如果你知道書的英文原名《living with complexity》,可能就沒那麼糾結瞭。對於一本和心理學沾邊的書,中文名字竟然給瞭讀者存在偏差的預期,隻能說太功利。 這本書要從...
評分管理復雜,這是一個十分吸引人的主題,尤其對於我這種天生比較淩亂的人來說。在本書中,諾曼博士花費用不少的篇幅讓讀者瞭解到什麼是復雜、為什麼會復雜,以及復雜與簡單的關係。當然,他也介紹瞭很多管理復雜的技巧,而個人認為這些遠不如前麵的設計思想吸引人。 我們...
評分其實沒啥好說的,本書沒有上兩本書振聾發聵。要麼就是我太淺薄不能理解其中之深奧。 沒有一個明晰的脈絡,大概因為這個話題本身太復雜,會扯到哲學層麵上太多,諾老一嚮深入淺齣,沒有挖掘下去,整篇看完給我的感覺就是“人類需求是復雜的,因為世界是復雜的。所以技術和設計...
評分內容應該是不錯。 我之所以說應該,是因為裏麵的文字實在是難以理解 文字難以理解不是因為晦澀難懂 而是,這翻譯的也太爛瞭吧!看起來就是用榖歌翻譯然後調整瞭一下,感覺就是我高中做翻譯時的感覺啊! 裏麵用的詞讓人摸不到頭腦,每句話讀著都那麼彆扭 不明白為什麼這麼一本暢...
評分帶著問題讀覺得很有啓發,寫得很淺,不過角度和道理很受用
评分Simplicity can only live with complexity.
评分從Don Norman的書裏麵學到的核心思想是:好的design源於觀察生活。當然還是它早期的書感覺更powerful。。。
评分U should be bloody smart.
评分Simplicity can only live with complexity.
