Everyday Interfaces
Due 02/11
You interact with interfaces each day. Whether they reveal themselves as ATM machines, cell phones,
Palm Pilots, elevator buttons, or countless other devices, these interfaces help us do the things we do.
Task
Identify three interfaces you use in your everyday activities. In thinking about which interfaces to
choose, consider: Is it easy to use? Is it important to you? Would you change it if you could?
Provide a brief description of each, including its purpose, intended audience, and a summary of how you use
this interface. For each interface, describe how you would use it and briefly describe any design changes you would make.
Format
Write one paragraph for each interface. Print out the assignment and bring to class. Bring one of the
interfaces you choose to class with you for discussion.
