3. Living With Complexity; A lecture by Don
Norman on April 8 2011
Don Norman speaks about complexity in
everyday life and how design helps us
understand and cope with complexity. Norman
gives many examples of complexity and design
working together to create understanding for
the consumer and asks, "Why do we need
complexity? Because what we really want is
understanding, so, it's about design."
