| Trying to Build a 'smarter' Home |
|
|
| This article basically says that the clapper (read the article if you dont know what the clapper is) is the state of the art for home automation still. While humorous, I can see why the article makes the statement. The clapper is simple and anyone can use it. Then my thoughts skip to my field, which is the Internet. In the way most remote controls are unusable so are many web sites. So this gets me thinking, what is the clapper for Internet design? Perhaps Google is the closest to the clapper we have on the Internet. Google is simple, the design basic, and it works. And why list this article here? I think it also has lessons to be learned for those of us rushing to the small device market. |
