About this title: Donald A. Norman, the author of THE DESIGN OF EVERYDAY THINGS, continues his theorizing, emphasizing the role of emotion in consumerism. Norman believes that it's not reason alone that dictates a purchase but an intangible reaction to an object's appearance and performance, and--perhaps most important--the meaning it has for the individual. Norman looks at the design of cars, computers, and much more as he explains how these interactions work.

"I could not finish this book. I got to about page 180 and had to give up, which I don't like doing, but I could not take anymore of this book. Before it started completely sucking, the book was mildly interesting and I learned some things that I didn't know before. However, too much time was spent on his theory as another reviewer mentioned and I don't see how robots have anything to do everyday design. I was hoping for chapters dedicated to everyday objects like cars, chairs, lamps, and the like. A big disappointment."
"so far, interesting. I really like how the author describes how he came from another, opposing view, on aesthetics in design. After his research he ended changing his mind towards an understanding of how important a role aesthetics can play in effectiveness as well as pleasure from a thing. I ended up putting this away, got sick and got interested in other things. Maybe I'll go back to it."
