Silly me, read the wrong chapter and didn't realize it until too late. Story of my life.
But I had a good time reading a learning about some phycology of everyday things that we use and handle.
Something that I really thought was interesting was the idea that we all have misconceptions. Weather they come from cultural or past experiences, or just the fact that we don't really understand what it going on. These aren't necessarily a bad thing, they are probably just the way we see and make sense of the world around us. This is probably be a good idea to be aware of as a designer. Don Norman points out that if an error is possible, someone is going to make it. If we as designers are aware of misconceptions, we can design things that may prevent errors.
