Find a tech joke you like-- it could be a cartoon, a meme, social media post, etc.
I like this meme because it is very relatable. Every time I try to insert a USB, even if I look beforehand, it will still never go in on the first try.
"Human-centered computing" is the idea of making and designing technology with not only its functionality in mind, but also how good the users' experience with it will be. Now, with the technology that we have available, the users' experience has become one of the most important things for a product to stay relevant among its competitors.
The USB meme is a perfect example of this change. Recently, type-C ports have become more and more popular. It is faster, more compact, but most relevant to this discussion, its symmetrical design allows it to be inserted in any orientation, unlike the one-way insertion of USB-A. This seemingly minute inconvenience created an opportunity for another product to profit.
