why is the "city metaphor" necessary in digital worlding?
-
-
-
as navigation tool for complex information space -- but there can be wilderness and void too...
-
one point to urban space as cognitive tool is that it is human-explorable and people can describe where they are in it and how to get around
-
not that this is impossible in void/wilds, but we are exploiting pre-existing ability of humans to reliably navigate complex urban spaces
-
pre-existing ability to comprehend complexity* A city is a great visual aid, but it's inferior to the UX principles it's built on top of.
