MacIntoch Anyone?

Commands, Commands, Commands

Doogie Howser?

Children and adults who have a great memory tend to fare well in the computer world.

They "Cache" all they see. Like how a "Central Processing Unit" a Hard Drive would. Great if one can use theirs to remember things last seen or done if at time doing so it was committed to memory. The more you try to remember the more one should be good at chunking information for later recall.

The procedure to logging on in the 80's has not changed, just how we on the user end see it has.

Computers run off of commands. You in the 80's learning to turn on your computer or go to a program on it like the word processor entered commands to get there.

Coding is the same thing as in commands.

So if you remember all one had to go through just to get to a program on their 80's computer, then you will understand that nothing has changed much. Just what the person using the easier to understand interface one sees has changed and a programmer making it less complicated to use is more the trend. This is a very vague statement and not meant to teach programming basics, just point out some correlations.

User experience has been at the forefront of technology since the beginning of man. Technology is nothing new, just how it is used. It is not a mystical new age term either. Technology is seen throughout history, a subject that use to be my favorite in school along with the sciences. Well off to more to do in getting things together for my first patient I am returning to tomorrow. Slowly but surely my patient roster is growing and less than a month. Side Note, I know but that is how I am. We will delve into this correlation at a later time. Aaaaaand I 'm off.
