One of My favorite words...
Ergonomics
Ok this isn't going to be be ranting on about absolutely nothing and wasting your time, this is actually quite important. Having spent a number of years dodging blocks of wood thrown around in D.T classes I did manage to pick up one or two useful design tips. Ergonomics is basically the study of making something that is comfortable to use but in the same way practical for the task required. I think this particularly important in the way we design something.

This is a good point - especially if we consider that there are the problems of arthritis and low mobility to also be considered. Everything needs to be very simple - and not fiddly.
Good thinking, I think this is important for us to keep in mind during the desinging stages.
