“What we’re doing is trying to translocate information, and all the machine does is impair that process. Possibly infinitely. You have a choice over where it goes, and that’s it.”

Resilience Design Method:
1. Evaluate by widget
2. Determine user tolerance
3. Rate by severity
53
Design for Failure
Evaluate, avoid, fix
• Evaluate each component for pitfalls• Detrmine user tolerance• Rate severity, risk• Can you avoid the issue? • Can you mitigate the issue?
