Our first group workshop encouraged us to highlight the friction and delight we encounter in our daily lives when using online platforms, services, and apps. This class demonstrated how easy it is to rapidly identify user-friendly interfaces that we appreciate, as well as what may be altered, isn’t intuitive, or is just incomprehensible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt took a long time for me to realize that my understanding of human behavior was relevant to my interest in the design of technology. As I watched people struggle with technology, it became clear that the difficulties were caused by the technology, not the people.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My main goal during the learning process is to concentrate on problem-solving thinking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our first group workshop encouraged us to highlight the friction and delight we encounter in our daily lives when using online platforms, services, and apps.
