This does not start as a bad example!<\/strong> but rather as a comparison of different concepts of operating a device: When I am with my camera (which is a very<\/em> analogue one) I have a certain amount of buttons and switches and I know each one. When I am with the D3 or D4 of a friend, it’s the same in a way: Although I do not know it as well and there is menus for the more complicated stuff’, I can still operate the camera blindly, which comes in quite handy. Every camera targeting professionals let’s you use it this way.<\/p>\n

When I use the NEX-5 of another friend there is virtually nothing I can change blindly. Most functions require to use the screen. So this is another concept. You do not need know<\/em> the buttons and functions. Instead you will be guided step by step through a menu. You also do not have a lot of buttons. But still a lot of functions all accessible by the menu on the screen. The two concepts are for different target audiences:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. operate a device quickly and without looking (but you’ll have to know it well)<\/li>\n
  2. operate a device without practice (but you will need some more time and will have to look)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Till now, as mentioned, everything fine. No hierarchy, no “better” concept, just different ones – for different people and different situations. But if you replace the first concept by the second one in a car<\/em> we finally have reached our bad example!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Many modern cars use smaller or bigger touch screens in the center console. This seems utterly strange and – if you dare to think about it – actually quite dangerous. There is no way to feel a switch\/button on a touch screen. There is no possible way of, let’s say, switching the temperature higher without taking your eyes of the street, <\/em>checking the state of the touch screen, finding your way through the menus…<\/p>\n

    Also by it’s very nature: a touch screen is a screen<\/em> – which is a device that wants you to look at it<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    This all seems very obvious. Still it’s common practice to use it in a car. Honestly: most of my bad examples!<\/strong> are about watching the world, finding strange things (they are everywhere, this is normal) and being amused.<\/p>\n

    This one is different: it’s just frightening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
