Shit is too hard to use.

Peter raises a couple of interesting points about the design and implementation of everyday things.

Basically, objects aren't simple anymore. There are numerous steps to installing and/or setting up anything. The more steps there are, the more likely you are to fail. Add in a Marketing Group that wants more and more features, and an Engineering Group that adds new features....well...you can see where this heads.

No solutions here. Just an interesting point from Peter who states the problem so succiently. Shit is just too hard to use.
