ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Don Norman - Cognitive scientist and design critic
Don Norman studies how real people interact with design, exploring the gulf between what a designer intends and what a regular person actually wants. His work has resulted in some classic books, including "The Design of Everyday Things."

Why you should listen

Don Norman is an anthropologist of modern life, studying the way we humans interact with our designed world. Though he has a slight reputation as a grumpy critic, his work is generous and insightful -- he wants nothing less than to close the gap between products and their users. If you've ever fought with an automatic faucet in an airport bathroom, or wondered which button to press in the anonymous row on top of your printer, it's good to know that Norman is in your corner. He's the author of a raft of books on design and the way we humans interact with it, including the classic "Design of Everyday Things." His next book, says his website, will be about sociable design.

Norman began his career as an academic, working in psychology and then cognitive science at UCSD. In the mid-'90s, he joined Apple and ended up in their Advanced Technology Group, and later worked for HP, before returning to university life. He's now the co-director of an innovative combined MBA and MEM program (called MMM) at Northwestern University. He's also a cofounder of the usability consultancy Nielsen Norman Group.

si astfel sa vedeti ca am o teorie a emotiei.
01:49
And those are the threeTrei componentscomponente.
39

Iar acestea sunt cele trei componente.

Hiroshi Ishii si grupul sau de la MIT Media Lab
01:54
tooka luat a ping-pongtenis de masă tablemasa and placedplasat a projectorproiector abovede mai sus it,
41
102000
3000
au pus un proiector deasupra unei mese de ping-pong
01:57
and on the ping-pongtenis de masă tablemasa they projectedproiectat an imageimagine of waterapă
42
105000
3000
iar pe masa de ping-pong au proiectat o imagine cu apa
02:00
with fishpeşte swimmingînot in it.
43
108000
2000
si pesti ce innotau in apa.
02:02
And as you playa juca ping-pongtenis de masă, wheneveroricând the ballminge hitshit-uri partparte of the tablemasa,
44
110000
3000
Cand jucai ping-pong, oricand bila lovea o parte a mesei
02:05
the ripplesvaluri spreadrăspândire out and the fishpeşte runalerga away.
45
113000
2000
undele se raspandeau iar pestele fugea.
02:07
But of coursecurs, then the ballminge hitshit-uri the other sidelatură,
46
115000
2000
Desigur, cand bila lovea cealalta parte a mesei
02:09
the ripplesvaluri hitlovit the -- poorsărac fishpeşte, they can't find any peacepace and quietLiniște.
47
117000
3000
undele loveau bietul peste, astfel ca pestii nu putea sa gaseasca un loc linistit.
02:12
(LaughterRâs)
48
120000
1000
(Rasete)
02:13
Is that a good way to playa juca ping-pongtenis de masă?
49
121000
2000
Este aceasta o modalitate buna de a juca ping-pong?
02:15
No. But is it fundistracţie?
50
123000
2000
Nu. Insa este distractiva?
02:17
Yeah! Yeah.
51
125000
3000
Da! Da.
02:20
Or look at GoogleGoogle.
52
128000
2000
Deci, uitati-va la Google.
02:22
If you typetip in, oh say, "emotionemoţie and designproiecta,"
53
130000
5000
Daca scrieti de exemplu "emotion and design" (emotie si design)
02:27
you get 10 pagespagini of resultsrezultate.
54
135000
2000
vi se vor prezenta 10 pagini cu rezultate.
02:29
So GoogleGoogle just tooka luat theiral lor logosiglă and they spreadrăspândire it out.
55
137000
3000
Asa ca Google a luat sigla lor si a intins-o.
02:32
InsteadÎn schimb of sayingzicală, "You got 73,000 resultsrezultate.
56
140000
2000
In loc sa spuna "Ai 73.000 de rezultate.
02:34
This is one throughprin 20. NextUrmătoarea,"
57
142000
2000
De la 1 la 20. Urmatoarea",
02:36
they just give you as manymulți o'soana as there are pagespagini.
58
144000
3000
ei iti pun atatia "O" cate pagini sunt.
02:39
It's really simplesimplu and subtlesubtil.
59
147000
2000
Este foarte simplu si subtil.
02:41
I betpariu a lot of you have seenvăzut it and never noticeda observat it.
60
149000
3000
Pariez ca multi dintre voi ati vazut acest lucru dar nu l-ati observat.
02:44
That's the subconscioussubconştient mindminte
61
152000
2000
Acesta este subconstientul
02:46
that sortfel of noticesanunțuri it -- it probablyprobabil is kinddrăguț of pleasantplacut
62
154000
2000
care l-a cam observat, probabil i-a si placut
02:48
and you didn't know why.
63
156000
2000
dar fara ca persoana sa stie de ce.
02:50
And it's just cleverinteligent.
64
158000
2000
Este o idee pur si simplu desteapta.
02:52
And of coursecurs, what's especiallyin mod deosebit good is,
65
160000
2000
Si bineinteles, ceea ce este cu adevarat bun,
02:54
if you typetip "designproiecta and emotionemoţie,"
66
162000
2000
este ca daca scrii "design and emotion" (design si emotie),
02:56
the first responseraspuns out of those 10 pagespagini is my websitewebsite.
67
164000
4000
primul rezultat din cele 10 pagini este web site-ul meu.
03:00
(LaughterRâs)
68
168000
2000
(Rasete)
03:02
Now, the weirdciudat thing is GoogleGoogle liesminciuni,
69
170000
3000
Dar ce e ciudat, este ca Google minte,
03:05
because if I typetip "designproiecta and emotionemoţie,"
70
173000
2000
fiindca daca scriu "design and emotion" (design si emotie)
03:07
it saysspune, "You don't need the 'and"şi.' We do it anywayoricum."
71
175000
3000
el spune "Nu ai nevoie de cuvantul 'si'. Cautam si fara."
03:10
So, OK.
72
178000
2000
Asa ca bine.
03:12
So I typetip "designproiecta emotionemoţie"
73
180000
2000
Scriu "design emotion"
03:14
and my websitewebsite wasn'tnu a fost first again.
74
182000
2000
si web site-ul meu nu mai este primul.
03:16
It was thirdal treilea.
75
184000
2000
Este al treilea.
03:18
Oh well, differentdiferit storypoveste.
76
186000
2000
Asta insa e alta poveste.
03:22
There was this wonderfulminunat reviewrevizuire in The NewNoi YorkYork TimesOri
77
190000
3000
Am citit odata un articol interesant in "The New York Times"
03:25
about the MINIMINI CooperCooper automobileauto.
78
193000
2000
despre automobilul MINI Cooper.
03:27
It said, "You know, this is a carmașină that has lots of faultsdefecte.
79
195000
4000
Spunea: "Stiti, aceasta masina are o gramada de defecte.™
03:31
BuyCumpar it anywayoricum.
80
199000
2000
Cumparati-o oricum.
03:33
It's so much fundistracţie to driveconduce."
81
201000
2000
E o placere s-o conduci."
03:35
And if you look at the insideinterior of the carmașină --
82
203000
3000
Si daca va uitati in interiorul masinii --
03:38
I mean, I lovediubit it, I wanted to see it, I rentedînchiriate it,
83
206000
2000
fiindca am vrut s-o vad, am inchiriat-o,
03:40
this is me takingluare a pictureimagine while my sonfiu is drivingconducere --
84
208000
3000
acesta sunt eu facand o poza in timp ce fiul meu o conducea --
03:43
and the insideinterior of the carmașină, the wholeîntreg designproiecta is fundistracţie.
85
211000
3000
iar interiorul masinii, de fapt tot design-ul este distractiv.
03:46
It's roundrundă, it's neatcurat.
86
214000
2000
Este rotund, dragut.
03:48
The controlscontroale work wonderfullyminunat.
87
216000
2000
Butoanele functioneaza de minune.
03:50
So that's my newnou life; it's all about fundistracţie.
88
218000
3000
Asa ca aceasta este noua mea viata, totul se reduce la distractie.
03:53
I really have the feelingsentiment that pleasantplacut things work better,
89
221000
3000
Chiar am sentimentul ca lucrurile placute merg mai bine,
03:56
and that never madefăcut any sensesens to me
90
224000
3000
iar acest lucru niciodata nu a avut logica pentru mine
03:59
untilpana cand I finallyin sfarsit figuredimaginat out -- look ...
91
227000
2000
pana cand mi-am dat seama intr-un final ca, uite...
04:03
I'm going to put a plankscândură on the groundsol.
92
231000
2000
O sa pun o scandura pe podea.
04:05
So, imagineimagina I have a plankscândură about two feetpicioare widelarg and 30 feetpicioare long
93
233000
3000
Imaginati-va o scandura de 60 cm latime si 900 cm lungime.
04:08
and I'm going to walkmers pe jos on it, and you see I can walkmers pe jos on it withoutfără looking,
94
236000
3000
o sa merg pe ea si, dupa cum vedeti, pot sa merga fara sa ma uit,
04:11
I can go back and forthmai departe and I can jumpa sari up and down.
95
239000
2000
pot sa ma duc inainte si inapoi si pot sa si sar.
04:13
No problemproblemă.
96
241000
2000
Nici o problema.
04:15
Now I'm going to put the plankscândură 300 feetpicioare in the airaer --
97
243000
4000
Dar daca pun scadura la 90 m inaltime in aer
04:19
and I'm not going to go nearaproape it, thank you.
98
247000
3000
nici ca am sa ma duc langa ea, multumesc frumos.
04:25
IntenseIntens fearfrică paralyzesparalizează you.
99
253000
2000
Frica intensa te paralizeaza.
04:27
It actuallyde fapt affectsafectează the way the braincreier workslucrări.
100
255000
3000
De fapt chiar afecteaza felul in care creierul functioneaza.
04:30
So, PaulPaul SaffoStanculescu, before his talk said that he didn't really have it down
101
258000
4000
Paul Saffo, chiar inainte de discursul sau, a zis ca nu l-a avut scris
04:34
untilpana cand just a fewpuțini dayszi or hoursore before the talk,
102
262000
2000
pana inainte cu cateva zile sau ore,
04:36
and that anxietyanxietate was really helpfulutil in causingprovocând him to focusconcentra.
103
264000
4000
si stresul acela a fost de mare ajutor in a-l face sa se concentreze.
04:40
That's what fearfrică and anxietyanxietate does;
104
268000
2000
Si asta este ce fac frica si stresul.
04:42
it causescauze you to be -- what's calleddenumit depth-firstAdâncime-primul processingprelucrare --
105
270000
3000
Te fac sa fi ceea ce se numeste procesare in adancime,
04:45
to focusconcentra, not be distractedzăpăcit.
106
273000
3000
sa te concetrezi, sa nu te lasi distras
04:48
And I couldn'tnu a putut forceforta myselfeu insumi acrosspeste that.
107
276000
3000
si nu am putut sa ma impotrivesc.
04:51
Now some people can -- circuscirc workersmuncitorii, steeloţel workersmuncitorii.
108
279000
3000
Acum unii oameni pot - circarii, muncitorii din industria metalifera.
04:54
But it really changesschimbări the way you think.
109
282000
2000
Insa iti schimba felul de gandire.
04:56
And then, a psychologistpsiholog, AliceAlice IsenIsen,
110
284000
3000
Un psiholog, Alice Isen,
04:59
did this wonderfulminunat experimentexperiment.
111
287000
2000
a facut un experiment minunat.
05:01
She broughtadus studentselevi in to solverezolva problemsProbleme.
112
289000
2000
A cerut unor studenti sa rezolve niste probleme.
05:03
So, she'dea ar bringaduce people into the roomcameră,
113
291000
2000
I-a adus intr-o camera
05:05
and there'droșu be a stringşir hangingagăţat down here
114
293000
2000
unde era o sfoara ce atarna aici,
05:07
and a stringşir hangingagăţat down here.
115
295000
2000
alta sfoara mai incolo
05:09
It was an emptygol roomcameră, exceptcu exceptia for a tablemasa with a bunchbuchet of craprahat on it --
116
297000
3000
si o camera goala cu exeptia unei mese plina cu tot felul de maruntisuri pe ea --
05:12
some papershârtii and scissorsfoarfece and stuffchestie.
117
300000
2000
niste foi de hartie, foarfeci si altele.
05:14
And she'dea ar bringaduce them in,
118
302000
2000
Ea i-a adus in camera
05:16
and she'dea ar say,
119
304000
2000
si le-a spus:
05:18
"This is an IQIQ testTest and it determinesdetermină how well you do in life.
120
306000
3000
"Acesta este un test de inteligenta care determina cat de bine va descurcati in viata.
05:21
Would you tiecravată those two stringssiruri de caractere togetherîmpreună?"
121
309000
3000
V-as ruga sa legati aceste doua sfori impreuna."
05:24
So they'dle-ar take one stringşir and they'dle-ar pullTrage it over here
122
312000
3000
Asa ca ei luau o sfoara si o trageau incoace
05:27
and they couldn'tnu a putut reacha ajunge the other stringşir.
123

3000
dar nu puteau ajunge la cealalta.
05:30
Still can't reacha ajunge it.
124
318000
2000
Tot nu ajungeau la cealalta.
05:32
And, basicallype scurt, nonenici unul of them could solverezolva it.
125
320000
3000
Nici unul dintre ei nu a putut rezolva problema.
05:35
You bringaduce in a secondal doilea groupgrup of people,
126
323000
3000
A adus un al doilea grup de oameni,
05:38
and you say, "Oh, before we startstart,
127
326000
3000
Si le-a zis: "Inainte de a incepe,
05:41
I got this boxcutie of candybomboane, and I don't eatmânca candybomboane.
128
329000
3000
am cutia aceasta de bomboane, insa eu nu mananc bomboane.
05:44
Would you like the boxcutie of candybomboane?"
129
332000
2000
O vreti voi?"
05:46
And turnstransformă out they likedplăcut it, and it madefăcut them happyfericit --
130
334000
3000
Si se pare ca lor le-a placut ideea si ca bomboanele i-au facut fericiti,
05:49
not very happyfericit, but a little bitpic of happyfericit.
131
337000
2000
nu chiar atat de fericiti, dar un pic fericiti.
05:51
And guessghici what -- they solvedrezolvat the problemproblemă.
132
339000
2000
Si ghiciti ce s-a intamplat -- au rezolvat problema.
05:53
And it turnstransformă out that when you're anxiousanxietate
133
341000
3000
Astfel ca se pare ca atunci cand esti stresat
05:56
you squirtuda neuralneural transmitterstransmițătoare in the braincreier, whichcare focusesse concentrează you
134
344000
3000
creierul da drumul la multi transmitatori neurali, care te ajuta sa te concentrezi,
05:59
makesmărci you depth-firstAdâncime-primul.
135
347000
2000
sa procesezi in adancime,
06:01
And when you're happyfericit -- what we call positivepozitiv valenceValence --
136
349000
3000
Iar atunci cand esti fericit -- ceea ce numim noi valenta pozitiva --
06:04
you squirtuda dopaminedopamina into the prefrontalprefrontal lobeslobi,
137
352000
2000
lobii frontali dau drumul la niste transmitatori numiti dopamina,
06:06
whichcare makesmărci you a breadth-firstLatime-primul problemproblemă solverRezolvitor:
138
354000
2000

06:08
you're more susceptiblesusceptibil to interruptionîntrerupere; you do out-of-the-boxout-of--box thinkinggândire.
139
356000
3000
Astfel, raspunzi mai bine la intreruperi, gandesti mai bine cand esti luat prin surprindere.
06:11
That's what brainstormingbrainstorming is about, right?
140
359000
3000
Despre asta este vorba cand ai nevoie de inspiratie, nu?
06:14
With brainstormingbrainstorming we make you happyfericit, we playa juca gamesjocuri,
141
362000
3000
Cand ai o idee trasnita esti fericit, asa ca noi jucam jocuri,
06:17
and we say, "No criticismcritică,"
142
365000
2000
si spunem: "Fara critica",
06:19
and you get all these weirdciudat, neatcurat ideasidei.
143
367000
2000
si asa iti vin toate ideile acestea ticnite si dragute.
06:21
But in factfapt, if that's how you always were you'dte-ai never get any work doneTerminat
144
369000
3000
Insa, daca asa ai fi tot timpul, nu ai mai reusi sa fi productiv,
06:24
because you'dte-ai be workinglucru alongde-a lungul and say, "Oh, I got a newnou way of doing it."
145
372000
3000
fiindca ai munci dar totodata ai spune: "Oh, am o noua modalitate de a rezolva problema aceasta".
06:27
So to get work doneTerminat, you've got to seta stabilit a deadlinetermen limita, right?
146
375000
4000
Astfel ca pentru a face lucrurile sa functioneze avem nevoie de termeni finali, nu?
06:31
You've got be anxiousanxietate.
147
379000
2000
Si asta ne streseaza.
06:33
The braincreier workslucrări differentlydiferit
148
381000
2000
Creierul functioneaza diferit
06:35
if you're happyfericit. Things work better because you're more creativecreator.
149
383000
3000
si daca esti fericit, lucrurile functioneaza fiindca esti mai creativ.
06:38
You get a little problemproblemă, you say, "AhAh, I'll figurefigura it out."
150
386000
3000
Daca ai o problema, spui: "O s-o dau eu de capat".
06:41
No bigmare dealafacere.
151

2000
Nu e mare lucru.
06:43
There's something I call the visceralviscerale levelnivel of processingprelucrare, and there will be visceral-levelnivel viscerală designproiecta.
152
391000
2000
Exista ceva pe care eu il numesc nivelul de procesare visceral.

06:49
That's especiallyin mod deosebit good that mammalsmamifere and primatesprimate like fruitsfructe
154

4000
Este bine, in special, ca mamiferelor le plac fructele
06:53

156

si astfel imprasti semintele.
06:57
There's an amazinguimitor amountCantitate of stuffchestie that's builtconstruit into the braincreier.
157

Multe lucruri sunt inmagazinate in creier.
07:00
We dislikeNu-i plăcea bitteramar tastesgusturile, we dislikeNu-i plăcea loudtare soundssunete,

07:03
we dislikeNu-i plăcea hotFierbinte temperaturestemperaturile, coldrece temperaturestemperaturile.
159

nu ne plac temperaturile ridicate si nici cele joase.
07:05
We dislikeNu-i plăcea scoldingbeşteleală voicesvoci. We dislikeNu-i plăcea frowningîncruntat facesfețe;

we like symmetricalsimetric facesfețe, etcetc., etcetc.
161

insa ne plac fetele simetrice si asa mai departe.
07:12
So that's the visceralviscerale levelnivel.
162
420000
2000
Acesta este nivelul visceral despre care vorbeam
07:14
In designproiecta, you can expressexpres visceralviscerale in lots of waysmoduri,
163
422000
3000
si prin design putem sa prezentam lucrurile elementare in foarte multe formule.
07:17
like the choicealegere of typetip fontsfonturi and the redroșu for hotFierbinte, excitingemoționant.
164

De exemplu, putem alege fontul caracterelor sau culoarea rosie pentru a atrage atentia.
07:22
Or the 1963 JaguarJaguar:

De fapt ea este o masina proasta, care se strica tot timpul,
07:27
but the ownersproprietarii love it.
167

dar proprietarii acestei masini o indragesc.
07:29
And it's beautifulfrumoasa -- it's in the MuseumMuzeul of ModernModerne ArtArta.
168

Si este si frumoasa -- este in Muzeul de Arta Moderna.
07:31
A waterapă bottlesticla:
169
439000
2000
O sticla de apa.
07:33
You buya cumpara it because of the bottlesticla, not because of the waterapă.
170
441000
3000
O cumperi pentru sticla, nu pentru apa.
07:36
And when people are finishedterminat, they don't throwarunca it away.
171
444000
3000
Si cand oamenii termina de baut apa nu o arunca,
07:39
They keep it for -- you know, it's like the oldvechi winevin bottlessticle, you keep it for decorationdecor
172
447000
3000
o tin pentru -- stiti si voi, e ca si sticlele vechi de vin -- o pastram pe post de decoratie,
07:42
or maybe fillcompletati it with waterapă again, whichcare provesse dovedeşte it's not the waterapă.
173
450000
3000
sau pentru a o umple cu apa din nou, ceea ce dovedeste ca nu apa era esentialul.
07:45
It's all about the visceralviscerale experienceexperienţă.
174
453000
4000
Totul se reduce la experienta viscerala.
07:50
The middlemijloc levelnivel of processingprelucrare is the behavioralcomportamentale levelnivel
175

and that's actuallyde fapt where mostcel mai of our stuffchestie getsdevine doneTerminat.

Astfel, design-ul comportamental se refera la cum sa fi in control.
08:23

That's why the GlobalLa nivel mondial knivescutite are so neatcurat.

09:01
Or this -- this is a really neatcurat teapotceainic I foundgăsite
203
529000
2000
Sau acest obiect -- este un ceainic foarte dragut pe care l-am gasit
09:03
at highînalt teaceai at The FourPatru SeasonsSezoane HotelHotel in ChicagoChicago.
204
531000
4000
in hotelul The Four Seasons (cele patru anotimpuri) din Chicago.
09:07
It's a RonnefeldtRonnefeldt tiltingÎnclinarea teapotceainic.
205
535000
2000
Este un ceainic de marca Ronnefeldt care se inclina.
09:09
That's kinddrăguț of what the teapotceainic looksarată like
206
537000
2000
Cam asa arata ceainicul.
09:11
but the way you use it is you laypune it on its back,
207
539000
3000
Dar cand il folosesti incepi prin a-l lasa pe spate,
09:14
and you put teaceai in,
208
542000
2000
apoi pui ceai in el,
09:16
and then you fillcompletati it with waterapă.
209
544000
2000
apoi il umpli cu apa,
09:18
The waterapă then seepsse scurge over the teaceai.
210
546000
3000
pentru ca apa trece apoi prin ceai.
09:21
And the teaceai is sittingședință in this stuffchestie to the right --
211
549000
3000
Si ceaiul sta in chestia asta din dreapta --
09:24
the teaceai is to the right of this linelinia.
212
552000
2000
ceaiul este in partea dreapta a liniei acestea.
09:26
There's a little ledgebordură insideinterior, so the teaceai is sittingședință there
213
554000
2000
E un mic pervaz inauntru, asa ca ceaiul sta acolo
09:28
and the waterapă is fillingumplere it up like that.
214
556000
2000
si apa il umple asa.
09:30
And when the teaceai is readygata, or almostaproape readygata, you tiltînclinare it.
215
558000
3000
Si cand ceaiul s-a facut, sau aproape s-a facut, il inclini.
09:33
And that meansmijloace the teaceai is partiallyparţial coveredacoperit
216
561000
3000
Si asta face ca ceaiul sa fie partial acoperit
09:36
while it completescompleteaza the brewingfabricarea berii.
217
564000
2000
in timp ce se prepara.
09:38
And when it's finishedterminat, you put it verticallyvertical,
218
566000
2000
Si cand s-a terminat, il pui in pozitie verticala.
09:40
and now the teaceai is -- you remembertine minte -- abovede mai sus this linelinia
219
568000
2000
Si in momentul acesta ceaiul este -- va aduceti aminte -- desupra liniei acestea
09:42
and the waterapă only comesvine to here --
220
570000
3000
si apa se ridica doar pana la acest nivel
09:45
and so it keepspăstrează the teaceai out.
221
573000
2000
si astfel tine ceaiul la suprafata
09:47
On toptop of that, it communicatescomunică,
222
575000
2000
Si mai mult de atat, acest lucru ne comunica ceva.
09:49
whichcare is what emotionemoţie does.
223
577000
2000
In asta constau emotiile.
09:51
EmotionEmoţie is all about actingactorie; emotionemoţie is really about actingactorie.
224
579000
3000
Emotiile se refera la felul in care ne comportam.
09:54
It's beingfiind safesigur in the worldlume.
225
582000
2000
Este vorba despre a fi in siguranta in lumea aceasta.
09:56
CognitionCogniţiei is about understandingînţelegere the worldlume, emotionemoţie is about interpretingInterpretariat it --
226
584000
4000
Cunoasterea se refera la intelegerea lumii, emotiile se refera la interpretarea ei.
10:00
sayingzicală good, badrău, safesigur, dangerouspericulos,
227
588000
2000
Se refera la a sti ce e bun, ce e rau, ce e sanatos, ce e periculos,
10:02
and gettingobtinerea us readygata to actact, whichcare is why the musclesmușchi tenseîncordat or relaxRelaxaţi-vă.
228
590000
3000
precum si la a ne forma comportamentul. De aceea ni se contracta si relaxeaza muschii.
10:05
And that's why we can tell the emotionemoţie of somebodycineva elsealtfel --
229
593000
4000
Si de aceea putem sa spunem care-i sunt emotiile unei persoane,
10:09
because theiral lor musclesmușchi are actingactorie, subconsciouslysubconstient,
230
597000
2000
pentru ca muschii actioneaza fara sa-si dea seama,
10:11
exceptcu exceptia that we'vene-am evolvedevoluat to make the facialtratament facial musclesmușchi really richbogat with emotionemoţie.
231
599000

ba mai mult, am evoluat astfel incat muschii fetei sunt acum plini de emotii.
10:17
Well, this has emotionsemoții if you like,
232
605000
2000
Ei bine, acesta are emotii
10:19
because it signalssemnalele the waiterchelner that, "Hey, I'm finishedterminat. See -- uprightvertical."
233
607000
4000
pentru ca spune chelnerului: "Hei, am terminat. Vezi? E ridicat".
10:23
And the waiterchelner can come by and say, "Would you like more waterapă?"
234
611000
3000
Si chelnerul vine si spune: "Mai doriti apa?"
10:26
It's kinddrăguț of neatcurat. What a wonderfulminunat designproiecta.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Don Norman - Cognitive scientist and design critic
Don Norman studies how real people interact with design, exploring the gulf between what a designer intends and what a regular person actually wants. His work has resulted in some classic books, including "The Design of Everyday Things."

Why you should listen

Don Norman is an anthropologist of modern life, studying the way we humans interact with our designed world. Though he has a slight reputation as a grumpy critic, his work is generous and insightful -- he wants nothing less than to close the gap between products and their users. If you've ever fought with an automatic faucet in an airport bathroom, or wondered which button to press in the anonymous row on top of your printer, it's good to know that Norman is in your corner. He's the author of a raft of books on design and the way we humans interact with it, including the classic "Design of Everyday Things." His next book, says his website, will be about sociable design.

Norman began his career as an academic, working in psychology and then cognitive science at UCSD. In the mid-'90s, he joined Apple and ended up in their Advanced Technology Group, and later worked for HP, before returning to university life. He's now the co-director of an innovative combined MBA and MEM program (called MMM) at Northwestern University. He's also a cofounder of the usability consultancy Nielsen Norman Group.
