Microwave ovens are a great example of how design can improve over time. If you have the opportunity to use a microwave from the 1960’s, it’s worth it. The interface was so completely unintuitive that you probably won’t be able to figure it out in your first twenty guesses. The interface steadily improved over next 40 years, but it has stagnated recently. Designers now have a pretty good idea of how people use (or have been trained to use) microwaves. My question is: can we do better?
