    1. In my opinion, this video makes it seem like deep hierarchies are not a good thing. In the flat, where she lists several pros and very few cons, she immediately goes through a large list of cons and only one pro in deep hierarchy. I feel like deep hierarchies are not as intuitive because when I go to a certain website I just want to find what I need and log off, not spend a large amount of time digging to find what I need.

    1. Audience-Based Website Navigation

      I agree that it is impossible to create a "one size fits all" page. In the healthcare site example, I was not aware that people accessed pages meant for doctors and healthcare providers. While I understand their wanting to be proactive, I wonder if that would instead be counter productive due to them regurgitating information they might not understand

    1. I predict that air gestures will spread not as a replacement for existing interaction methods, but as an alternative for achieving specific purposes.

      I agree with this statement. Although watching Tony Stark work with Jarvis to manipulate incredibly complex machines on his computer using air gestures is visually incredible, I do not see see air gestures "taking off" due to it being largely incompatible with people who may have issues with motor skills, or users in a limited space such as airports or public transportation.

    1. Steve Jobs perfect response to an insult. Worldwide developer conference 1997.

      I like that he noted you have to start with the user experience first and then work backwards from there. Love or hate him, he was a very smart businessman in the sense that he really knew his customer. If you invent a world changing piece of technology, but nobody knows how to use it, that technology is useless. You need to make sure the people you market your product to can actually use it, or else will never take off.

    2. David Berman on Sustainable Design Thinking Strategy

      Two facts I learned from the video are that

      1) there was an initiative proposed of eating kangaroos instead of cows in order to reduce methane gas emissions

      2) 10% of Norwegians are colorblind.

    1. Some of these techniques, such as psychological pricing (that is, making the price slightly less than a round number), have become normalized.

      A common tactic of many stores is to also make "fake sales". Sometimes, stores will artificially increase the price of a product and then put it on "sale" to it's original price, so that it seems like a good deal when you are actually just paying full price.

    1. conda create -n csi3210 python=3.10 jupyterlab nodejs -y conda activate csi3210

      I had a hard time doing this because it did not work in my terminal. I instead had to manually install miniconda via the website in order to run these commands.
