Does anyone else thinks NUI is not the perfect next step for UIs ?
-
Exactly, there's my point,we do have customization. But people actually customizing it are really less. Only those who are actually committed. I don't think a high school child will customize is his computer before using paint. He would prefer social network(where he has stuffs which he understands much better).

There's two issues here I think. Customization can be a pain to support so the basics of the OS are reasonably locked down. Imagine trying to use someone's computer if they whistled instead of clicking the mouse, and burped for a double click, for example. It's bad enough with a left handed mouse set up, but if the whole ui is customize it would be a real pain. Also you'd want all devices to use the same paradigms for that user. The other issue is in the 'learning' ui - ie the ui changing over time to adapt to the users requirements. Ms tried that some time ago with menu options being hidden or moved depending on the frequency of use. Trouble is, people get used to selecting the third item downon the menu - so got it wrong when the menu option moved, or they used someone else's computer.

I hate using someone elses computer and will throttle anyone who changes mine. If MS persisted in the dynamic menu stuff I'd probably be using nix. I loathe the ribbon concept of changing menu content based on location. So both concepts would get a negative reaction from me!

Rich are getting richer and poor getting poorer. I am speaking with reference to technology. I was thrown out of my OS lab when i argued that NUI is just not a great idea. We are making it easier and easier for common people than raising their standards or telling them more about computer technology. I think they would prefer learning how to code(so that they can solve their problems by themselves and not waiting for a s/w or an app that will solve it for them) than having installed computer on their face(google glasses)

Most people that use software or drive a car couldn't care less how either works under the hood. Most people also drive over bridges and live in homes without thinking about the engineering that went into them too. People simply want these things to be pleasing to the eye and to fit a purpose in their life. Only when these things fail to be pleasing to the eye or fail in their designated purpose do they care; and that caring is merely to point the finger of blame at those that built it. That is the human condition, acknowledge it, accept it, and move on.

You do know that you haven't properly understood what NUI's actually are, don't you? You might want to learn a bit about them before you spam the lounge with this drivel.
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

Let me tell you, you haven't understood my question. I have no debate against NUI, i have a debate against UI bieng generic and same to everybody. Next time read that message twice before calling it a spam. Because the thing which u don't understand is not always a spam.

You customise because you know how to cutomise, think of a computer illiterate.. For developers , a friendly UI would just be a bad idea(as they think there is no need), but it will surely save their time and raise their interest.

I don't want computer to work on my whistle. But what i want is, it should keep a record of my liking, i.e finding patterns what all i do on my pc(like google makes patterns what i search), what are the places i find difficulties and where not, and in response adjusting the UI according to it to make my work more efficient. Does that sound illogical?

So My next application should collect information like if user uses keyboard collect everything the user type's. So that I can sell this information to the highest bidder? I am the new Google overlord. :laugh: MMMMUUUUUAAAAHHHHHAAAAA!

Not illogical but it has been tried and it led to difficulties, because if your ui is different to mine, and indeed different to everyone's, then support and training become an issue (as does learning the system for the user) Unless there is a global standard on how to store the set up, it makes moving between computers a problem too.

Then you haven't been to a high school recently. One of the major issues in schools is supporting student PCs, as they will customise tehm to the point of being all but unusable given half a chance - so the computers have to be locked down to stop them customising

I can't speak for anyone else, but I estimate the 7% of me that is not full of shit, is vocabulary. yours, Bill

That was just an example of person who knows nothing about pc. What he would like and prefer.
