Assignment Two continued.

With most technology, it's ability to work well is directly dependent on your knowledge and expertise with the specific machine or application. What I said before about a cell phone being straightforward was more of a sweeping generalization. For some people, a cell phone may be frustratingly complex or vice versa. Certainly no one will purchase a phone knowing every little function and detail about it. With a video game, it is very similar. A person needs to practice before they will be adept enough to play with ease. Another part of their skill relies on a person's reflexes and senses. Whether they are playing on the computer or on a TV, the user needs to be able to react in time to carry out their task. They need to make full use of their senses. Sight, sound, and touch. Taste and smell are not incorporated into video games so they are not used. One recommended skill is some form of fast reflexes which is a direct result of good hand-eye coordination. For games, frustration can easily come from simple lack of practice. In cases of computer applications, lack of knowledge can lead to frustration.
