@alc277
Interaction UI UX
“Since humans are more pliable than computers, it can be
easier to make a human fit the computer’s limitations than to design the computer to fit the human’s needs. When that happens, the human becomes a prisoner trapped by the computer rather than liberated by it.” - Karla Jennings 3

“It is no accident that swearing is denoted by #&%!#$&.
It’s what a typewriter used to do when you typed numbers when the Caps Lock was engaged.” - Dr. James Winter
O I
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat
it. - George Santayana
What experience and history teach is this — that nations
and governments have never learned anything from history… - Hegel
