In week 3, mostly we have learnt about HCI. HCI stands for Human-Computer Interaction. When human were having an interaction between another human, there will be some problems that the human might be faced during that process such as...
* information processing such as our memory, how to react and problem solving.
* what language that have been used, syntax, communication and interaction.
* ergonomics. (relationship)
But in this new era full with modern technologies, HCI is everywhere in our life. Our smart phones, ipad, laptops and other technologies were mainly occupied with HCI. Unfortunately, computers also will have problems during the human-computer interaction such as...
* dialogue techniques.
* dialogue genre.
Than we jump on the word "ANTHROMORPHISM" which is attribution of human qualities to non-humans. Nowadays, computer were more humanly to their user such as humanly greetings "Hello Lisa, have a nice day" rather than "Press the ENTER button to start". We are comfortable this way as we felt like working with other human or machines with brains rather than works with a ordinary coding box.
Later, I learnt about the famous “Shneiderman’s 5 Guidelines About Error Message”. The 5 guidelines were...
* avoid using term such as 'FATAL', 'INVALID', 'BAD'.
* audio warning.
* avoid uppercase and long code numbers
* message should be precise rather than vague.
* provide context sensitive help.
