Tdoff: power tools vs. loss of control<br />

• Powerful tools make problem solving easier by<br />

working out the details for the user<br />

• However, if the details differ for each user, then<br />

automating the process may annoy the user (they do<br />

not feel in control of the situation)<br />

• Most successful applications offer the right amount of<br />

intelligence in their software so that users can solve<br />

their problems by using powerful tools, <strong>and</strong> they are<br />

in total control of the tools.<br />
