Interaction UI UX

“It is no accident that swearing is denoted by #&%!#$&.
It’s what a typewriter used to do when you typed numbers when the Caps Lock was engaged.” - Dr. James Winter

Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat
it. - George Santayana
What experience and history teach is this — that nations
