Seriously? These kids are in a different culture, not a different species. They live in a different world, for sure, but their brains are still human, and human behavior is what led Nielsen to this list of usability heuristics. He's even stated elsewhere ( http://www.useit.com/alertbox/user-test-locations.html) that it doesn't matter where you perform usability tests, they generally have the same result regardless. I'm not sure I've ever disagreed with you this sharply, Pauric, so I'm hoping I just don't get what you're saying. -r- ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
