OK, what do people actually mean when they want technology to “just work?” I mean, I know they want it to work. But each person has a different idea of how things should work. What I consider to be a fantastic UX might not be someone else’s idea of the same thing. Well, anyway. Mark Coxon writes about the idea of something “just working” in his latest column. There are layers to this statement and Mark explores them. Read the column here.

Don’t miss the latest news in this newsletter, #AVtweeps, from the likes of Sony, Extron, Jetbuilt, AVIXA and more.
