On Mobile Forms and Homer Simpson Fingers
There’s an old episode of The Simpsons where Homer, working from home, tries to call the nuclear plant to warn about a meltdown. As he dials, he hears the following recording: “The fingers you have used to dial are too fat. To obtain a special dialing wand, please mash the keypad with your palm now.”
Designing successful mobile forms is about removing as much data entry as possible and optimizing what remains so even Homer Simpson could fill them out.
