Human centered design considered harmful

Another Don Norman foray into design principles...This paper is about how he thinks that design works better when there is activity involved with it and how people adapt to technology.  But overall he thinks that when design focusing on the activity involved will bring about the most benefits.

I think this is probalbly true. And my example of course is going to be the Wii. The Wii involves more activity than any of the other video game consoles and as such seems to be selling more than all the other consoles combined. People seem to like this idea of actually doing something with their body that reflects on the television screnn more than just pressing a button and it happening. This especially seems to affect people who were never reall into video games and it brings in a new market of users.
