El diseño no tiene por qué ser complicado, por eso esta guía de diseño centrado en el ser humano muestra que la usabilidad es tan importante como la estética. Incluso los más inteligentes pueden sentirse ineptos al no saber qué interruptor de la luz o del horno hay que encender, o si hay que empujar, tirar o deslizar una puerta.

He let the lid snap shut. He reached into his satchel, took out a needle, jabbed Paret with a stimulant. Paret's back rose in a high arch. He writhed in real agony.
