Execution/Evaluation Action Cycle Analysis

Decent Essays
For this assignment, I would use the Execution/Evaluation Action Cycle (EEAC) as my choice of framework. According to Donald Norman’s theory, there are four basic parts of this framework (Goals, Execution, World, and Evaluation), and these actions are also divided into seven stages. Establishing the goal, forming the goal, specifying the action sequence, and executing the action sequence are all part of the execution stage. On the evaluation stage, perceiving the world state, interpreting the perception, and evaluating the interpretation, closes the cycle. According to Norman, a person needs to know what he or she wants it, what is the goal behind the idea, then the next step, is to take action in the world, followed by executing the action …show more content…

Now is much easier to use a cellphone (smartphone) than, let’s say, a few years ago. Screens are bigger, icons, and functionality is much better designed to fit everybody’s needs, making calls, writing a text, setting up an email and using the email became much simpler with mobile GUI advance in technology enabling even our grandparents to use it more frequently. The physical aspect of cell phones have also changed, now, it is all touch screen, they are bigger, lighter, and clear. You can gently touch the screen to obtain the result you need, flip the phone to the side to get a wider view, with new technology advancing so fast, very soon, the user will be to bend the screen back and forth making almost impossible to crack. A novice understanding of the system and their interpretation of it, depends on the person and how techy he or she might be. Believe or not, there are many people out there that are not techy at all and probably will get a cellphone and wouldn’t know what to do with it. They might find it difficult pressing the keys with no keyboard available (only virtual keyboard showing), they might have difficulties with the design, maybe too slick or big to hold, fragile to handle, and noisy with all the sounds it makes with ringtones, text, emails, and messaging

    In “Save the Earth, Buy Less,” Jared Blumenfeld points out, “Americans have become deeply addicted to consuming. If it’s cool, if it’s trendy, if it’s shiny, we buy it” (par. 6). In today’s brand conscious world, everyone likes to buy new things in order to look modern and more fashioned. In my opinion, this concept is destroying society by increasing: personal debt, poverty, and unemployment. Furthermore, this concept is also time wasting because everyday people go to the stores and they spend hours in there, just searching the products that are on clearance, which they don’t even need.…

    While seeing the screen is a problem, understanding exactly what the phone can do is also a problem. For the older generations, phones are not intuitive.
