On Democratizing Technology: How hard can it be to set the clock? (CIMdata Blog)

CIMdata’s Executive Consultant, Dr. Keith Meintjes, recently shared his views on the need to democratize technology so that it is easy for the end-user. 

He summed it up as follows: 

"I think this is quite an important issue, the need to democratize technology so the interface is easy and intuitive (or even automatic) for the end-user. This goes directly, I think, to the question of the usability of software and technology. It is ridiculous, in my mind, that you have to master an electronic user manual or watch a five-minute video to adjust the clock by 18 minutes."
