There is No Such Thing as Information Design (Jef Raskin) -- "In spite of technological advances, people's access to external information has not expanded beyond their optical, auditory, haptic, olfactory, vestibular, and (that favorite of infants) gustatory senses. Therefore, the first responsibility of the designer is to know the limitations and capabilities of the human senses; a body of knowledge usually considered part of ergonomics and human factors."
