Abstract

Information technology design is by no means simple. Most real-world problems are not simple and they often have no correct solution. The challenges that everyday designers’ face is to handle trade-offs. It is the conscious choice among many alternatives each of which places constraints on utility and resources. As Mitch Kapor suggests above, a designer stands with one foot in the technology and one foot in the domain of human concerns, and these two worlds are not easily commensurable (Winograd 1996).
