Interesting article - but I find it odd that something published on a site devoted to interaction design should have such small text - and full-width at that.

Interesting article - but I find it odd that something published on a site devoted to interaction design should have such small text - and full-width at that. Currently using Firefox on Windows - I don't often have to touch the zoom setting, but for this one I had to crank it to 150% to read the article comfortably.
- mhandley 4y agoProbably looked fine on an 800x600 screen when the article was written.
- asdfman123 4y agoWhile looking at the site, I dropped my phone on my toe, bruising it severely. Now I have to go to the hospital, all thanks to bad design.
- function_seven 4y agoFive Whys! Why did you go to the hospital? "Because I severely bruised my toe." Why? "Because I dropped my phone on it." Why? "Because I was trying to hold it with 3 fingers, while using my thumb and forefinger to attempt a zoom pinch thing." Why? "Because the text on this ergonomics article was too hard to read." Why? "Because the web in 1999 was a very different place." Verdict: Your fault for trying to read a computer website on a telephone. :)
