Now tell us what graphical interface developers spend their time thinking about.
Are they real world problems like the examples given above.
What is more important.
Someone once said the best interface is no interface.
If I do not have to think about an "interface", if the program is doing its job without requiring interaction, then that is more time I have to focus on what is important.
Not all software can be like this but a lot can. As the article indicates, there is an enormous amount of "forced interaction" in today's computers. This is in part because companies that employ interface developers rely on the online advertising business to make money.
