Usability isn't only for Web design. It's also applicable in the real world as things aren't always well-designed. Paying attention to real world design can help you think through usability for Web design. For instance Mike Alstott Hat , there is an elevator in New York where the numbers are in three columns. The numbers go across, but in this elevator they go from right to left instead of left to right. It's in English not Hebrew.
Elevator in NY:
10 9 8
7 6 5
Most elevators:
8 9 10
5 6 7
This concept can be applied to a Web page by assuring numbers, letters, and other meaningful groups of information are sorted in a logical order.
I also saw a school speed zone sign where it said to slow down during the following times:
7:30 AM - 8:15 AM
2:45 AM - 3:30 PM
Hmm... figure out what's wrong with this sign? This one can also teach a lesson for Web design usability. What lessons come to mind?
Donald Norman talks about such design in The Design of Everyday Things. While I was in the hospital twice in a little over a one week period Ali Marpet Hat , I discovered a few usability problems.
The room I was in last week had a small TV, the kind that hangs from the wall like those you see at the blood centers. It had no captions, but the law (Television Decoder Circuitry Act (TDCA)) only requires TVs 13 inches are captioned. NBC didn't work on that TV. Go figure... it was the only channel I could enjoy without captions because the olympics were on and sports are easy to follow.
The one good thing about that small room was the button to call the nurse. It didn't have a speaker, so no one would try speaking to me when I called. She would just come as soon as she could.
My first room for the second visit's adventures had a brand new flat screen TV. The only way to get the captions turned on was to fiddle with the options on the side of the screen. Could not do it from bed. Thankfully Donovan Smith Hat , tall Hubby was there to do it. Not everyone has the luxury of having someone there to do it or even with the know-how.
The TV remote control was on a remote with three buttons: call nurse, light on off, and TV. I could only go one way in changing the channels. If on channel 5 and wanted to be on channel 4, I had to go through all the channels to get to channel 4.
The second room had the same TV and remote set up. Once again Vernon Hargreaves III Hat , tall Hubby had to turn on the captions. This time, when I called the nurse, she talked back through the speaker. We had to remind every shift and multiple nurses on that shift that I couldn't hear over the speaker.
Luckily, I had family with me to help talk to the nurse. But I was alone all morning and without my implant. So I could not even hear any sound coming from the speaker where I could say what I needed and hope they caught it. Thankfully Chris Godwin Hat , I had a nurse who came in often enough that I didn't need to call.

There isn’t any pain, he opens his eyes to tell us. There isn’t a pain.
My good friend stood beside the deathbed of her Uncle, a Christian who in his battle with illness, was about to go into the presence of the Lord.
How many times will we seem to question the demise of those who cross away and depart us right here in this world? Why should we die? Why cannot God truly bless us with eternal life now on earth? Why regardless of healings and miracles does demise finally nonetheless overtake us?
I’ve battled most of these questions with the dying of both my mother and father. I’ll most likely ask these questions again. At the present time of demise for this aged gentleman seemed to shed some wonderful light on a seemingly darkish subject.
“There isn’t a pain.” I consider we find grace in each facet of God’s hand. God is an efficient God – all of the time. Even in dying Carlton Davis Hat , the Lord’s hand strikes in a stream of grace and love. I find that there is a nice grace in loss of life itself. When there may be loss of life from this mortal body into immortality we leave behind a lifetime of turmoil and pain. The phrase tells us that our days are however few, and them stuffed with sorrow. Would a divine extension of life eradicate the pain and trouble we had in the past, or would a lifetime of completely divine well being erase the heartaches, troubles Vita Vea Hat , and pain from dwelling in a world ridden of sin?
There is grace in demise my friend. And God is all the time gracious. Will we pray for healings and miracles from the hand of God? Yes. Can we ask for divine health and an prolonged life upon this earth? Absolutely. The hand of God that brings therapeutic and the miraculous is all a part of the Kingdom of Heaven that we as a church are to cry out and consider for today. But the word also tells us that the loss of life of his saints is valuable in His sight. He longs for us even more than we lengthy for Him.
“There isn’t any pain” – what a statement. However in his moments of dying, by some means passing forwards and backwards between this world and the Kingdom of God, his weakened voice utters forth his ultimate statement. This statement really opens as much as us another realm of the promise we now have in Christ.
