What Screens Want
- acconrad 13y agoI've been making websites for 16 years to the day when my mom got us the internet for my birthday. I opened up the internet tab on AOL, had no idea what to type, but learned that I could do it myself. It changed the entire course of my life and has enabled me to create an entire career out of giving a screen what it wants. It's been a wonderful journey thus far and that was a delightful read.
- themodelplumber 13y agoThat was really fun to read and consider. >> We can produce a vision of the web that isn’t based on: consolidation privatization power hierarchies surveillance Is our current vision of the web really based on those things? Crazy to think about.
- mikegriff 13y agoReally enjoyable article. I especially like the analogy of maps and how only using a map can distort reality.
- memracom 13y agoWhat an awful ugly site. This guy needs some lessons in designing things for a computer screen so that users do not need to endlessly scroll and squint at faint text on low contrast backgrounds. It would make a good example of what NOT to do for a graphics design class.
- srik 13y agoContrastingly, Ive had a very positive reaction from reading the article, even a small sense of awe over it, if i may. To quote this article, "Choosing the proper amount of abstraction is tricky, because each user comes to what you’re making with their own amount of experience."
