    <dc:description xml:lang="en">There is an evolution that takes place whenever people use something.
Imagine the world passing a brick around from hand to hand. Over time, its edges soften until it's a smooth, rounded stone. An optimal shape has formed by being used and the brick has now &quot;adapted&quot; to an ideal shape for further travel among human hands.
Usability is all about harnessing this evolutionary process.</dc:description>
