The author uses coffeemakers and alarm clocks as examples of how household appliances are difficult to use. On the other hand, she lauds Dieter Rams for his designs. Apparently, the author doesn't know that Dieter Rams designed coffee makers and alarm clocks for Braun, and they're still being sold. They're very easy to use and they last forever. (My Braun alarm clock and coffeemaker are 20 years old, and I wouldn't replace them for anything else. They still work perfectly.)
