I was super impressed by the font size of the beginning of the chapter. As one of the elder members of the class it was a nice change of pace from the microscopic text I am usually required to squint at. I may have had flashbacks to my days of reading "The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales."
I'm sure that's what you intended us to focus on, right, type settings? I mean, it is sort of a design class (maybe-the course catalog descriptions for WSU leave something to be desired.) Anyway...
I found the first chapter discussion on the rise of appliances and electronics in the home interesting. Imagine if the world had been filled with people like that one elderly person you know who refuses to upgrade their rotary phone or use a computer because they are afraid of change. I suppose it makes sense that for something to catch on it has to be accessible to many. Then it has to be widely available in order to experiment with different applications other than the intended use.
Hahahaha.
