Even though our computers are now better than 15 years ago, they still malfunction 11%–20% of the time, a new study from the University of Copenhagen and Roskilde University concludes. The researchers behind the study therefore find that there are major gains to be achieved for society by rethinking the systems and involving users more in their development.
I agree for my personal usage, but I do think there’s value in trying to make software easier to use for less technically minded users, while ideally still allowing the configurabilty and complexity for power users.
