I am so tired of User Interface eXperience design idiocy.
I see it all the time. Not just in how we interact with computer graphic user interfaces and website menus, either. I am talking about everywhere.
Google commits a great sin by not allowing us a Forward button to get to the next page in our app and/or our browser history. No, even though they stick that Backward one document/app/page navigation button right in the way of our fingers as they come to rest, no one will ever hit it accidentally. WTF? Then, you have the fact that people are hitting buttons accidentally as they navigate life, getting in and out of cars, dealing with babies and kids, etc... and Google has the gall to view us as perfect beasts that never make mistakes.
I got a tip for you, Google. It's a human user interface!
This issue has long been a pet peeve of mine. The very idea that we will not ever accidentally touch a window behind the popup we are using to rate an Android app in Google Play is ludicrious. Once we accidentally touch anything outside of the popup window, it disappears. With no Forward navigation option at all to return, it is impossible to recover the data we just entered in any form, whether in a popup window, a different page, anything.
This kind of absent minded idiocy is absolute ridulousness. The idea is to make computers and computerized devices easire to use, not harder. And here I am trying to fill out applications for careers and in simply choosing an inferior operating system without the most obvious and necessary functionality available in all other graphic user interface platforms, with one single wrong move I have lost a complete page of form fields that I have to get filled-out within a certain time frame or the employer will log me out due to user inactivity.
But those are only a few examples of the UIX stupidity found in the Android's graphic user OS that is supposed to allow and encourage human interaction with a simple computer or computerized device.
The list of corporate UIX bafoonery is just way too long. But I will tackle as many of these issues as I see, even when it coes to how we interact with computerized devices such as cars and refrigerators.
Stay tuned to my blog for absolute hilarity in the idiocy of corporate carelessness.
