July 4, 2008

The high-tech industry has inadvertently put programmers and engineers in charge, so their hard-to-use engineering culture dominates.

In our rush to accept the many benefits of the silicon chip, we have abdicated our responsibilities. We have let the inmates run the asylum. -- Alan Cooper, The Inmates are Running the Asylum, p. 15.   (via interaction-design.org)
