In the world, people will always make mistakes on any products, their behaviors, and anything happens. There is no "perfect". We will learn from our mistakes. For the software on the computer, any softwares guarantees have some errors that the developer design the system. If the developer want to have no mistake/error in the system, it needs to be checked three or five times through the system. But, they will never fully succeed.
When the user is stressed and needs to check something on the Internet, he or she will not follow the steps to find the information he or she is searching. The person will likely make mistakes when ordering an item. He or she needs to relax for a moment and check the Internet then the process will be fine. For example, I was stressed with lots of homework and projects that were due a few days later. I feel the need to hurry and finish these projects. When it dues, I will sit down in the classroom and think something funny. I realized I forget one thing at home. That's why when stressed I will forgot things easily.
People of different generations have different error strategies. Some elders follow their old traditions and have not have tried the new modern technology. They feel behind with the new technology and they will make some errors. They will feel frustrated if they do not know new technology. For example, the woman in her sixties, had an old cellphone, she was not fully aware about new mobile phone. She will struggle with a new phone. She will make some mistakes before she feels comfortable using the new phone.

Unit 8: How People Feel
Facial expressions are important to tell what people are
feeling. It represents how people are feeling after their result from a
specific events, actions, or food. It may exhibited joy, sadness, contempt,
fear, disgust, surprise, and anger. In public, people can read your facial
expression after your result on whatever you see. For example, when I lectured in
front of the classroom, I noticed more than two students and the instructor
making facial expression that they were obviously tiring to understand what I
was saying about my project.
A facial expression is important to present what you are
feeling. But, it is very sad for people who have had Botox cosmetic product.
The Botox is used to reduce the facial wrinkles and thus treated people cannot
express their emotions because the muscle cannot move after the Botox injected.
When taking Botox, people thought it was their solution to their wrinkles, but
they need to think about their facial expression. They might cannot show their laugh
or anger at someone or something. Also, the Botox inject might destroy your
face muscles for good.
Some people have no patience in waiting for something to arrive
or come. For example, at the baggage claim in the airport, I may not patient while
waiting for my suitcase to arrive because I am in a big hurry to get back to my
college. I did not want to be waiting for a long time in the airport. Well, it depends with people’s feeling.
It is fact that the students, employees, and I feel so
stressful from our projects and homework that need be done. We need to relax to
distress. After work and class hours, they used their iPhone or mobile to hear
songs to relax their mind and body. For myself, I watch music videos for relaxation.
Of course, our mind needs a rest because the mind is too busy to be functioning
all day.
Amygdala vs Thalamus - Amygdala is associated with the sense
of smell. Thalamus is part of relaying sensory.
“Welcoming
Warmth” - a mix of fig, jasmine and freesia.
Nucleus Accubens – the part of the brain that is active when
people experience pleasurable events.
Attention Restoration – assists the people to concentrate
better after spending time in nature or looking at the senses of natures.

Senior Thesis Presentation
I have a Thursday
evening class at the same time with Senior Thesis Presentation. I only
stayed in my class until I got feedback from my teacher and dean. After that, I
headed to Senior Thesis Presentation. I stayed until the end. It was interested
listening students' thesis. I am almost understanding the point about senior thesis
and project. I wished I could make the picture more specific.
Stepfanie Lukito's thesis named
"Using Technology to Maximum Children."
She explained how children learned
and followed into adulthood in their parents' footsteps. She presented some
examples how children learn words from kids' TV shows for example Dora the
Adventure. She sometimes talked nervously and tried to explain in more specific
details.
Juri Seo's thesis named "Emotion
in Interactive Design." She explained her two different theories about
interactive design to these people. She presented some images from advertising
ad on how people feel. But, for me, she didn't really present clearly her two
different theories.
Jamie DuBois' thesis named "Help
Shark!" He liked to reduce the advertising ad and presented it as an
interactive media to save lots of papers. He presented some examples of posters
and interactive media. He was very good explaining the difference between the
poster and interactive media. He had well thought about ideas for his thesis.
Helen He's thesis named "The 'New' Made in
China". She was half nervous but she explained very well about the China's
branding, identity system, and culture/traditional ways. Her theory about how
other countries steals some of China’s traditional/cultures and redesigns them
to look different from China's. I would like to know what her project looks
like.
Unit 7: People are Social Animals
One of the chapters seemed bit scary stating
the high percent age of lies through email, paper and pen, instant message,
telephone, and face-to-face meetings. Some people never assume other people may
lie in email or paper and pen. They might think they are being honest. It is
more than 92 percent of group tell the lie through the email.
It's true because sometimes people
can be fooled after reading the email or paper. The writing can't tell the
reader if it is absolutely a lie or not.
Another chapter talked about
speakers' brain and listeners' brain sync up during communication. When the
speaker speaks in front of an audience, he notices some of listeners talking
with other listeners. It might does not mean they are ignoring the speaker.
They are synced in their brain at the same time with talking with other
listeners.
Jonah Lehrer (2010) explained the
difference between Facebook and Twitter. Facebook is considered as your best
friends because you check in it often everyday. Twitter is here to help you to
connect with different people that you may never met before.
Laughing is the best social bonding
with other people. It is easy to bond with others in different locations. For
example, I joined with my close friend and her new crowd in the cafeteria. I
happened to signed something funny, they were absolutely laughing so hard. They
thought I was very hilarious and they liked my sense of humor. They wanted to
see more of my sense of humor.
Dunbar’s number: Robin Dunbar studied
different species of animals. He figured out if there was a relationship
between brain size and the number of stable relationships in social groups. He
used the formula for calculating the limit for different groups.
Mirror Neurons:
Synchronous activity: It is action
you take together with others where everyone is doing the same thing at the
same time such as dancing, tai chi, yoga, singing, and chanting in time as a
group.
Duchenne smile: Identified two different types of smiles.

My Thesis Proposal
My Thesis Proposal
For my senior thesis I was thinking about something I want
to do for my senior project. My senior project would be simple workout app that
users can do themselves at their house. They may have their time to look at
workout app that has simply instructions without too much of words. Even
thought, I read the fitness magazines in the grocery store or bookstores. I
always avoid the reading the information to explain how to do with fitness or
how it works. I tend to look at these images of fitness. It may waste the
users’ time to read the information and cause they don’t do their fitness after
reading the magazines because it possible makes their eyes tired. It is best
way for them depend on the fitness movement images. It will save their lots
time from reading the information. Also, whoever aren’t the members for any
fitness area, they don’t want to pay the monthly fees and use their gas to
drive there for fitness. They can do their own exercise at their house to have
relaxed fitness.
I like to see most of people keep their motivation to do
their fitness at home instead of lazy if they don’t have any errands to do.
Most of people have lack of motivation because they think the exercise is too much
of time and get bushed easily. Best way is have your fitness partner or friends
to come together to have support each other.
