Talk:Use-centered design

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Strawman

The first sentence is a strawman:

"The use-centered design is a design philosophy in which the focus is on the goals and tasks associated with the use of certain technology, as opposed to "user-centered design" approach, where the focus is on the user alone."

User-centered design is a design philosophy that was proposed to contrast what is characterized as "technology-centered design". The overly literal interpretation of user-centered design as being focused solely on the users, but somehow ignoring the users' goals and tasks is nonsensical. --Ronz 21:21, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
