Technology Paradox Functionality versus Usability
The Ease of Use Goes Down!
As Functionality
Increases
(It Does More things)
“…the same technology that simplifies life by providing more functionality … also complicates life by making it hard to learn. …”
Donald A. Norman - The Design of Everyday Things, 1988 (pp. 30-31)

ARCA’s Smart Travel Program – “Wildly Successful”
“The STP program is wildly successful. We trained two groups of ten individuals in
the first year of collaborations with our governmental
partners. The first group increased their public rides by
110% and the second group increased their rides by 84%.”

Andy’s Story

“Andy sometimes had a very hard time expressing himself and verbalizing his feelings. He began using audio email and his social skills began to blossom. At first He was hesitant to give it a try. For several weeks his mom would send him emails and he would listen to them, but wouldn’t respond. Eventually with help from staff he began emailing by deciding ahead of time what he wanted to say in his email. Once he got over the hump of sending the first couple of messages, he began sending emails completely independently. Because of his difficulties expressing himself verbally, Andy had not said ‘I love you’ to his mom in years. One day, he was sending emails in the dining room. The staff person nearby in the kitchen overheard him signing off from his email by saying, “I love you, mom.” Within 24 hours, his mom called the staff in tears to express just how much that meant to her. She continued to tell how Andy’s communication skills had improved over the short time since he had begun emailing with her.”
“I Love You Mom!”
