Dr. Ko talks Hourglass Syndrome on KING5

In a segment for KING5 News, UW iSchool Assistant Professor Amy Ko shares her insights into the psychology underlying our interactions with technology, and why blue hula hoops, beach balls of death and hourglasses can elicit such anger. The story from reporter Owen Lei, which appeared on late and early local newscasts, examines the causes of our desire to enact harm upon our technological devices, using humor to drive home its points.

You can find the video on the KING5 website.
