门把的设计
Sunday, June 29th, 2008Doors come in amazing variety. Some open only if a buttton is pushed, and some don’t appear to open at all, having neither buttons, nor hardware, nor any other sign of their operation. The door might be operated with a foot pedal. Or maybe it is voice operated, and we must speak the magic phrase. (”Open SimSim!”) In addition, some doors have signs on them: pull, push, slide, lift, ring bell, insert card, type password, smile, rotate, bow, dance, or, perhaps, just ask. Somehow, when a device as simple as a door has to come with an instruction manual —— even a one-word manual —— then it is a failure, poorly designed.

这句话讲的很好：“Somehow, when a device as simple as a door has to come with an instruction manual —— even a one-word manual —— then it is a failure, poorly designed.”（当一扇门有说明书，就算只是一个字的说明书，那这就是失败的设计）
你们知道门有它的设计吗？
这门是拿来拉开的。
这是推才能开的门。
门把的设计就能让人知道这门应该拿来推还是拉开。
