I’ll start as an example: in the song Mr. Brightside by the Killers, the word “swimming” in “swimming through sick lullabies” is pronounced with a ‘t’ at the start like in “tsunami”. It’s “tswimming through sick lullabies”.

    I feel like this video has somewhat interesting bits sprinkled within, but for the most part, it sets up a problem most people already recognize, never actually explores why it happens (besides vaguely “money”, which I think anyone could guess), and then interviews Don Norman to give the most obvious “no shit” and high-level explanation for creating intuitive designs. We also get the solution to the door problem – which is also trivially obvious.

    Vox imo is usually good and in-depth (at least their written work is), so while inoffensive, this really surprised me.

      Yeah the video doesn’t explain much, just says there is a problem. If you search for Norman Doors there is probably more material out there. We had a presentation with several examples accompanying the video so maybe that’s why it stuck so much.
