Hello Jared,
the execution of User Centered Design done the RIGHT way will
guarantee success. Atleast this is what I believe. Many companies do
design great products without a UCS approach, I believe that these
products can improve and become even better with a UCD approach.
You say that people
Users know that this certain feature can do SOMETHING, yet they dont
know WHAT. So they avoid looking at it and totally block it from
their minds.
trust me, if people started complaining, corporations would be in
trouble. people do NOT complain. Sitting online and writing about a

Hi Ali,
It's a nice belief. A little tautological, but a nice belief none the

However, there's a lot of evidence that
But I do get your point. Reality is different than utopian philosophy.
Tradeoffs are a reality which we designers face daily.
Thanks for your replies!

Ali, it is obvious, you really don't know what you are talking about
when it comes to the iPhone. people are complaining? huh? people

buy them. The problem is

Thank you all for responding. I am trying yet again to post a reply. I

make a difference.
I have tons of ideas. It takes time. I know it does.
