Why God? Why?
March 24, 2008So. I’m taking a course called ‘publiceren via nieuwe media’ (which actually kind of means what I’m doing right now). The main topics are hypertext and linking. "No problem", I can hear you think out loud.
"Yes problem", is my response. Why the hell are we learning things about so called ‘new media’ from scientific articles written almost a decade ago? Can’t you see that scientists are almost always wrong (there’s always an article seconding the one written first)? Can no one understand that it is outdated to talk about the fact that one should be careful how to write in hypertext? That you shouldn’t be ambiguous when linking? And that usability is very important?
Who came up with that? Well, these are a few of the rules thought up by this guy. And oh my god. What is it that I see on his site? No, it couldn’t be true. Is he really?
Yes, he is. He really is breaking his own rules. And already on the frontpage. Kudos, Mr. Nielsen, kudos.
