"Contact" also brings into sharp focus the all-too-common attitude of
"If the target audience isn't smart enough to open the online help/read the
blueprints/find the power-button, they shouldn't be using the system!"

(Disclosure: Back when it was just a book I'd read several times, "Contact"
was the first thing that came to mind while I was attending my first STC
online documentation seminar -- 'Make the information *accessible*!' )

"I believe the only way to get the scale of change we really need is
to focus on educating citizens so they have the principles,
the framework and the tools necessary to effect change on their own."
