Applications
Design interfaces that complement human cognition rather than fighting it. Show information in formats humans process naturally. Provide appropriate abstraction levels. Don't make users remember what computers can remember. Augment human strengths; compensate for human weaknesses.
Understand when to use human versus machine capabilities in workflows. Computers should handle rote processing, calculation, and memory-intensive tasks. Humans should handle judgment calls, creative solutions, and decisions requiring values. Don't waste human cognition on what machines do better.
Create symbiotic relationships between people and technology where each does what it's good at. This isn't about automation replacing humans—it's about humans plus computers achieving more than either alone. The goal is amplifying human capability.
Appreciate how technology extends mental models by enabling simulation, visualization, and processing complexity beyond human wetware limitations. This amplification is why small teams with computers can accomplish what previously required large organizations.
