Understanding Computers and Cognition
A New Foundation for Design
Terryl Winograd, Fernando Flores
Résumé
This volume is a theoretical and practical approach to
the design
of computer technology. The design and development of new
technology
is situated in an implicit understanding of human nature
and work.
The deep questions of design are those encountered when it
is
recognized that in designing tools we are designing new
ways of
being. By confronting these questions directly a new
background for
understanding computer technology - one that has direct
practical
consequences for those engaged in the design and use of
computer
systems can be developed.
