This post has been in the works since Jakob Nielson’s latest BBC article. I have noticed certain people got upset about. Don’t be. It’s very good to question the web. Most people seem to take what’s going on at face value and as solid truth, especially when it’s written on a well-regarded website.
Jakob questions the new league in design, Web 2.0. “Tonka toy” size inputs and buttons are not necessarily a bad thing. It has better accessibility for partially sighted people, and it’s easier for people with poorer and average sight alike. Buttons are easier to press, data and information easier to read and write.
