Brian Eno on the pathetic nature of computer UIs

Design

Computers are hopeless! They?re so under-evolved! Of course, they offer the promise of the future of music, but Jesus, they?re badly designed! The fact that three million years of muscular evolution should end up being translated into an index finger clicking a mouse, this is the problem. Think of any analogue instrument: playing a guitar, for instance, you?re doing at least six things at once. I believe musicians have shrunk to fit the pathetic nature of the interfaces.
