Things That Make Us Smart: Defending Human Attributes in the Age of the MachineIn Things That Make Us Smart, Donald A. Norman explores the complex interaction between human thought and the technology it creates, arguing for the development of machines that fit our minds, rather than minds that must conform to the machine.

In Things That Make Us Smart, Donald A. Norman explores the complex interaction between human thought and the technology it creates, arguing for the development of machines that fit our minds, rather than minds that must conform to the machine.Humans have always worked with objects to extend our cognitive powers, from counting on our fingers to designing massive supercomputers. But advanced technology does more than merely assist with thought and memory--the machines we create begin to shape how we think and, at times, even what we value. Norman, in exploring this complex relationship between humans and machines, gives us the first steps towards demanding a person-centered redesign of the machines that surround our lives.Binding Type: Paperback

Only One Page Featuring a Girl
Format: Paperback
I bought this intending to give it to a six-year-old girl who has started playing soccer. Instead, it's headed for the trash. There is only one page in the entire activity book that shows a female soccer player, and she looks like a little Barbie doll. Really?? The publishers need a serious thump on the head. Pretty sad for 2021.
