Comment on Wikipedia Redesign Conceptparent

Something really interesting (and relevant) is that in cases where a redesign makes an interface markedly easier, it can still perform less favorably simply because people liked knowing how to do something that most people couldn't (i.e. using said interface). Take Ideo's redesign of the Bloomberg example, for example.

What's the point of the virtual post-it note? Why not use a regular post-it note?

You know, not too sure. The micro-terminals make sense, but the virtual post-its seem a bit odd.
