I'm grateful for this explanation, because I erally have wondered why so 
much stuff these days is so poorly designed despite the amassed amount 
of experience we have in how to do it. Some years back, when Don Norman 
began complaining that Apple design was degrading, I think a lot of 
people thought he was just sour because he wasn't being consulted any 
more. But he was and is right about...well, I don't use Apple products, 
but technology design in general. It has increasingly little to do with 
what people actually want.
