It’s not the technology!

This is something that I’ve noticed working in professional development, that technology doesn’t solve problems that it didn’t create and usually creates more problems when it’s put before user experience. I found an interesting site that talks about how Nintendo has thought about the user experience first on the Wii and how (at least in the console world, if not elsewhere) through focusing on the user experience has always been the way to win the successive generations of console wars. Even the venerable PS2, won because it had a better experience, not because of it’s technology.
