That reminds me of the way my mother is using a computer. She clicks EVERYTHING twice. No matter if online or offline. That often causes problems. For example if you double-click an icon in the windows taskbar to open an application it opens twice.
- yuvals 11y agoCompletely agree - I see the same behaviour.
- KJasper 11y agoExactly a lot of real world (older) users do this and I cringe a little every time I see it. They don't even know that you can single click. This isn't a huge issue, but it's much more common than the people here seem to think.
- smorrow 11y ago"They don't even know that you can single click." I see alot of younger people are like this about some things. (but not single-clicking obviously.) How about raking your scrollwheel through fifteen pages to get somewhere? Analog scrolling, I call it. Because that's what it is, a skeuomorph of scrolling through a microfilm... I would've thought the advantage of having a computer was that you can go directly to page n, to line n, whatever. In terms of efficiency, I would liken the scroll wheel to the arrow keys: it's alright for small distances, but not more.
- reinhardt 11y agoMine is the opposite, she never double clicks despite numerous attempts to teach her. Not sure about online but offline she "right-click + open"s everything, which is painful to watch.
- rwallace 11y agoJust set her desktop to single click mode?
- userbinator 11y agoI suggest teaching "click once at first and wait a moment; if nothing desired happens, then double-click." It's what I do when I explore the UIs of unfamiliar apps, and seems to work well enough.
