hmmm? I actually don't agree. why? b/c few if any of these laws came out of research on young people. They are all tests done on adults that have gone through the same level of socialization. And if my reading is correct all of these laws are based on research only done in specific western industrialized settings.
By no means are these cross-culural/sub-cultural studies and I do question them. They are also not age-based studies and further they are contextualized around a specific use-context of computational areas. I also think that like in any product design, interaction design and HCI theory are not the only parts of the puzzle. I think that there may be pieces of instructional design that may counter our basic interpretations of standard HCI theory. I don't know for sure if any of this is true, but when I look at my kids toys, they really don't follow what I would expect in standard HCI or even ergonomics, but they are quite successful. -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
