Usability Quote of the Day

February 9, 2012

Most people who encounter computer-based automation at work do not choose the software with which they work, and have comparatively little control over when and how they do what they do. For them, the use of computers can be an oppressive experience, rather than a liberating one. -- Sarah Kuhn, Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996    (via interaction-design.org)

Usability and accessibility in 2006

Some interesting predictions for 2006 ...

"Having recently set up the new Accessibility Practice at Bloor it seems only right that I should stick my neck out and make some predictions for 2006.

- WCAG 2.0 and ATAG 2.0 will become W3C recommendations by the end of the year.
- At least one household name will drive a marketing campaign around accessibility and usability.
- At least one household name will be sued for failing to comply.
- User testing for usability and accessibility will grow rapidly.
- One vendor will deliver a development environment that produces conformant sites by default.
- PDF documents will become a major bug bear in 2006."   continued ...   (Via IT-Analysis)
