Oops!

Just read chapter 5 of The Design of Everyday Things.
It's all about mistakes.
I didn't know that there is even particular jargon.
A slip or a mistake.
Slips are more forgivable presumably because its only lack of attention whereas
a mistake is blowing it big time. Poor decision making.

I'm finding that I'm looking at everthing with a little more thought to design.
What I liked about the reading is that error is unavoidable and therefore must consciously be considered in design.
I know that I knew that but I bet that it is very often overlooked especially by designers who are very close to the project such as subject matter experts.

I will have to keep this in mind on my GAP project and at my work.
See ya
