He did - "the design of everyday things" is a book that has been around for decades and is still the best introduction to these. The book doesn't cover computers at all.

Though I warn you, I read it 30 years ago and I still cannot enter a kitchen without cursing how bad the stove is.

From reading the original comment, it is not apparent that "the design of everyday things" refers to a book with that title. When I read the comment the first time, I didn't understand it.

Communicating through writing is hard. Just as designing something that can be easily understood is hard.
