Let’s start off with The Magic Book. This is an amazing concept that was brought to life. It
is fascinating to see how far technology has come. The Magic Book starts out as a printed book and then transforms into a digital
pop-up book. We are not used to seeing three-dimensional moving images when
reading a book, which makes this so different. I believe this is a great idea
for children who can’t read yet and “read” books for the pictures. The Magic
Book will create an exciting experience for kids. The downside of this is if
they turned books for adults into this 3-D experience, it may change the whole
dynamic of reading. I agree with what Samantha stated in her blog about reader
interpretation. This plays a big role in reading books. People get so involved
with their books because they can use their imagination to picture the story in
their mind. Books have already transitioned to the digital side, where now
everyone has a Kindle or a Nook. Although there are some cool features to it, I
prefer to read a book the old-fashioned way, where I hold it in my hands and
turn the pages.
In chapter
5, David Siegel states that Web users are consumers and use the web to purchase
something. They respond to a visual design and will succumb to a Web site that
provides the proper experience. I couldn’t agree more. People also have a
certain expectation when surfing the net. People want to be able to go to a Web
site that loads fast and provides a user friendly “experience.” Have you ever
looked up a Web site that took too long to load? Or visited a site that was way
too complicated? When this happens, the user will just click off and go to
another Web site. There are so many different Web sites that you can visit to
get similar information, so why stay on a site that is taking forever to load? While
technology is evolving, the Internet continues to be one of the most popular
and widely used mediums. It will be interesting to see where technology will go in
the future.
