Perfect usability - The one-button machine?
Keeping usability simple ...
One of my favourite Dilbert strips (http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert/) goes something like:
'I’ve done it! I’ve invented the world’s most usable machine. It only has one button… and we press it before it leaves the factory.'
The nirvana of one-buttonness is here. One-button machines are filling our environment: leading the charge towards the invisible computer. Oddly my life seems to be becoming ever more irritating as a result. How can such simple devices have usability problems? Here are some of my experiences with one-button machines including those 'pressed before I get to them'. No doubt they just show what a dork I am, but wouldn’t it be nice if the design-for-all dream extended to dorks too." continued ... (Via Usability News)

Even Dilbert designs one button machines.
