I wish somebody designs easy to use pram

I was taking a stroll with my kid and was just wondering why nobody cared about designing a easy use pram or child stroller, or maybe someone would have done that in US but in India it continues to be chaltha hai kind of prams.... I had 2 prams and both seems to have some or the other problem, not in terms of comfort for child, thats perfect, but usage of the same like folding, unfolding, adjusting the seat... these all things are really annoying and very frustrating when it cannot be done quickly. Most often when we keep the pram in car we need to fold the same and then put it in the car, but due to difficulty in doing the same we have to keep it in open condition, thus taking almost half the car space.

Manufacturers should really think of hiring some UX people or some researcher to understand what we as parent need....

It's been a year : remembering my farther

Same day last year, I lost my father.... we are all gathered here in Bangalore to complete "Shradh" which is done in elloborative way in Tam Brahmins.

Modal Window

Modal window is something which was created just to avoid disturbing popups, as many thought as popups are becoming annoying to users and also many browsers have this popup blocker. According to Wiki, Modal Window is child window that requires to interact with users before they can return to operating the parent application. (Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window)

But we had this debate in one of our projects wherein some business people who were making this user flow made all the data entry second level information in modal window, which is quite understandable to maintain the consistency, but then while user testing people realized that it was even more annoying as why would I fill up something in small screen? Why are you guys forcing me to work in prescribed window? Then we googled on the same to know that as per the research Modal window is meant only to display messages or any alert or vital confirmation messages. Why because as action is just to get confirmation from user, why would he want a popup or new window, he would rather want to see the backend screen while performing the action.

Very good research I learnt about Modal Window

Somehow I like this pic...
