TechKnowledge

Jay Cross, Internet Time, Feb 16, 2004

Jay Cross offers coverage of the TechKnowledge conference almost as good as being there. Day One, Day Two and Day Three. Best bit: "People today want to be doing things. They want control. They want tools. Along with the book review, add a button for buying the book. The browser's fading away in favor of Internet-aware apps. Ease of use should mean 'Easy to Use.' Steve Jobs announced the Mac in 1984, saying that Apple was making the computer as easy to use as the telephone. Now our telephones are getting as hard to use as our computers!" Having just received an IP phone which I apprently need training to use, I can only concur. At least I've stoped deleting as viruses the voice mail it sends me by email. Heartwarming quote: "I found this event very worthwhile. I was happy to get the feeling that America is finally coming out of the economic dark ages of the last couple of years."
