Information technology is complex and the people who use the technology are themselves complex. Almost by definition, therefore, the fit between the technology and its users is complex. Technology today includes a plethora of applications, each includes a multitude of features and each interacts with other applications. There are also many computational devices/platforms which interact together. Those who use this technology have diverse tasks, skills, knowledge, expectations, and motivation. Although there is always room for general improvements to the design of any given technology, most individuals would benefit from having the technology designed specifically to fit their own particular needs. Designing technology to accommodate such individual differences, however, is very difficult to do.

信息技术是复杂的，使用该技术的人本身也是复杂的。因此，几乎根据定义，技术和用户之间的契合是复杂的。今天的技术包括大量的应用程序，每个应用程序都包含大量的功能，并且每个应用程序都与其他应用程序交互。还有许多计算设备/平台相互作用。使用这项技术的人有各种各样的任务、技能、知识、期望和动机。尽管任何给定技术的设计总有改进的余地，但大多数人都能从专门为满足自己的特殊需要而设计的技术中受益。然而，设计技术来适应这种个体差异是非常困难的。
