Many problems come as a result of users forgetting that they are smarter than

remedy the problem:
1. Make computers that are as smart or smarter than people.
2. Make the programmers anticipate every way that someone may use a particular
function and make them
implement all of the functionality even if they don't think it is worth the
time/effort since there is an
easy work around for many of the less likely used features.
3. Don't expect the computer to guess correctly and tell it exactly what you
want it to do.
