People And Technology
People innately are tool users.
- We use tools all the time (e.g., using a brush to tidy our hair)
- We invent tools all the time (e.g., using a shoe to hold open a door)
- Simple and well-designed tools seem obvious to use (e.g., a cup seems naturally suited to scooping and holding liquid)
Complicated tools may require training
- We must be taught how to ride a bicycle, drive a car, ski, ...
- Appliances and tools come with an owner’s manual
