It is not rocket science
These days it is strange to hear people say: “I am no knowledge”, as computers have evolved from archaic scientific calculators a simple point and click the type of equipment. We suspect that today’s “computer illiterate” are people who have not taken the time to experiment with this machine. And we firmly believe that spending only twenty minutes with one could turn the most inflexible Caveman technology in any of those who have fun wreaking havoc chat on the Internet today.

Today, one only needs to learn to manipulate a mouse, punch a few buttons on a keyboard, or really the thing to turn to use a computer. It is difficult for some people to believe, but this generation of computers almost run themselves! For fun, we will investigate to what little knowledge of these thousand dollar machines actually require.

Can an absolute novice to operate a computer without knowing how to use a mouse or keyboard? Assuming that a computer is configured to operate in voice command - sure! Voice Command software allows users to tell a computer what to do and the computer responds by carrying out the commands of the user. While it is fairly new and still under development, voice technology has already led infiltrated consumer-related service systems.

Think back to the last time you pay a bill by telephone. Instead of talking to a human being, it’s likely that you referred to a computer that not only responds to what you said and followed the orders that you gave, also asks for more information, as its name Full or credit card number. In this case, a person (like you) is operating a computer without even knowing it!

Can a novice all sit at a computer without knowing how to use it? Assuming that a computer is configured to operate in touch command - the answer is again, yes! Touch command software allows users to literally touch the objects on a monitor and tells the computer what to do with one finger. Known as “kiosks” These programs are already in use worldwide in ATMs, employment centres, and systems health monitoring.

Not a mouse or a keyboard is required. A user only has to play several boxes of a screen to control a computer. Of course, behind the schedule for these technologies is large and advanced, but the end user, which makes use of the computer less intimidating and plain easy.

Of course, when we talk about operating a computer, we anticipate greater participation speaking on the phone or touch things on a screen. The above illustrations are just a few examples of how far computer technology has grown, and how far we have “usability” to its limit. Finally, the keyboard and mouse will have to play a role when the computer novices have to work with one as a cash register, as a programme of hotel reservations, or as a catalog of the library system.

These requirements do not make computers are less easy to operate, but not make it much more difficult. Therefore, much of today’s software is designed to accommodate the new user experience that anyone can connect to the Internet, send an email, and download an MP3 file in the first five hours of purchase a personal computer.
