Re: Digital 'cassette' recorder
Menu interfaces have got into the most inappropriate places. The latest cars seem to have gone all-touchscreen. Drivers have to look down at a centre console to see where their finger is pointing and what mode the screen is in when all they want to do is adjust the heater. It doesn't matter whether the driver is of the computer generation or not, they'll live longer if they kept their gaze out of the window.
Karen's cassette player is gorgeous. It's not an interface that's efficient for getting to any chosen track, but it is an interface designed to be familiar and comfortable to a lot of people.
Interfaces should always be designed around the human, not around the machine.
Inappropriate interfaces can cost lives.
