| 1363978 | 2014-01-01 00:13:00 | To be fair, I think you need a bit more context before you mock and jeer. It seems to me it could have possibly been a student assignment where while the topic itself was probably not too important, the skills and insights the students might acquire in undertaking it would be useful in a later "real-world" project. | Tony (4941) | ||

Well Tony maybe you would be good enough to give us an example of how and when “the skills and insights the students might acquire in undertaking it would be useful in a later "real-world" project”, as you put it, may hit “Pay Dirt”? As far as I can see, all they are ever likely to produce is piles of gobbledegook. Dahhhh, utter time and resource wasters from where I sit. :groan: |

| 1363980 | 2014-01-01 03:21:00 | The report says "green is indirectly associated with poverty...". That could be useful if in the future one was attempting to design a communications campaign. Remembering all the time that the piece linked to is a newspaper report that is presumably a brief extract from a much longer research paper. Who knows what bias the reporter brought to the subject - maybe what he wanted was exactly the reaction that is being shown in this thread. Of course B.M may be quite correct and it is a cartload of horse manure. All I am saying is that unless you have access to the original material and objectives (i.e more context) it is not really possible to pass judgement. BTW I have no problem with the title "Human Interface Technology Laboratory". I would have though anything that leads to better interaction between humans and the world is a good thing. |

| 1363982 | 2014-01-01 04:51:00 | Ah, the old "can't think of an argument so I'll change the subject" ploy. Nice. | Tony (4941) | ||

Or to re-design KiwiBank's logo? National Bank used to have a predominantly green logo, too ... Remembering all the time that the piece linked to is a newspaper report that is presumably a brief extract from a much longer research paper. Presumably? It's probably more the product of inept reporting by a reporter with an incomplete grasp of the concept of attempting to comprehend the subject matter before writing about it. :D |
