Reflection:
So I feel like I have heard Norman say somewhere that when designing, one should focus more on the usefulness of the work, and reading this it felt like she was correcting the notion that designs should have some emotions attached to them sometimes. I agree with her/him- I’m confused- when she says that emotions(affects as she calls it) affect how one thinks when solving a problem which I also find interesting. I like how she uses real-life situations to describe what she means -I don’t know why I am referring to her as she if it’s he then my bad. For the second reading, as a computer scientist or an upcoming one, I was really shocked that this field was introduced kind of by a woman. It was my first time hearing this story and honestly, I didn’t expect NASA to ignore that possibility of an error. All in all, Hamilton’s story is a motivational one.
