That's a hard no.<p>"So many ordinary objects and experiences have become technologized—made dependent on computers, sensors, and other apparatuses meant to improve them—that they have also ceased to work in their usual manner. It’s common to think of such defects as matters of bad design. That’s true, in part. But technology is also more precarious than it once was. Unstable, and unpredictable. At least from the perspective of human users. From the vantage point of technology, if it can be said to have a vantage point, it's evolving separately from human use."<p>So basically: "You're too stupid to figure out how to use things, you think they are badly designed because they require thinking apart from a heuristic that you use, and then therefore in a word 'stupid' "<p>Sorry Charlie.

That's someone not wanting to deal with something well shitty (no one flushing because they are (also no pun intended) a piece of shit.<p>That's why automatic flush was invented.<p>Now if they didn't make toilets for your 3 year old (they do but that's a specialist thing and in a public area normally not a high priority outside of an elementary school) doesn't mean that the object is badly designed.
