Making it Easy

When talking access we are again talking at the level of the wallpaper (see Principle 1: Wallpaper).
spacer When we design for access the structure of the information remains the same, the wallpaper must change to reflect the output bandwidth/ device. Much as we might paint a room on the cold side of the house yellow and one on the hot side blue. The structure does not alter (though that might be desirable) but the environs can change by a surface application of information.
spacerWhat for instance will a surfer make of web content if they access it via a TV, palm top personal organiser, a mobile phone or a wrist watch. (Grayson.I,99)
