1)"There are an amazing number o everyday things, perhaps twenty thousand of them." (pg 11) This passage really stuck out to me because it is amazing to think about how there are so many objects in the world. I dont think i have used anywhere close to a quarter of that number.
2) Even though Norman's book was published about 20 years ago, it still has contiued to be influential because designers have still contiued their habits of designing objects with many errors that limit the useability of the object. After all these years it would seem that the designers would do something to fix this problem, but no they continue to make objects more difficult than they should be.
3) On my checklist i would include factors such as durability, style, price, and easy use. Most important is price because i would not even consider looking at an object if it is too overpriced. Next is the object better be able to last for a long period of time so i am able to use it often. An object should also need to be easily used or else the object is a waste since it can not be used properly without confusion. The least important but still a good quality is style. I think that an object should be pleasing to look at.
