Every time I have to do something like that I wonder how people like my parents manage to use computers.

- extraduder_ire 3y agoI assume they're in the group of users these sorts of interfaces are designed for. Hunt and peck typing, will dutifully following the flow chart of interaction across multiple pages and assume they are wrong when they are made to start again when they click a wrong button, and not being annoyed when the "you are being logged out in 30 seconds. Cancel?" message pops up. Or, they are used to finding someone who's "good with computers" to assist. That alone probably hides so much garbage UX from being known to developers.
- beambot 3y agoMy parents used punch cards and DIP switches to control their first computers. They think modern computers are basically magic by comparison...
- dpkirchner 3y agoI've watched my parents use phones. The main things that throw them off are borderless buttons, long-press actions, and swiping/dragging table rows. If we could all agree to stop implementing these that's be great.
