These are a few quotes from Stewart Butterfield in 2002.
- perception and cognition don’t go on in a spatial framework
- bits of information don’t relate to each other spatially
- orientation and movement have no analogues in web infrastructure or end design
- people who are using the web are doing something altogether different than people who are actually navigating
Right on! And you know what, it’s got worse.
We’re no longer dealing with information behind a glass screen that we can design and coerce into behaving navigationally.
