8 things we still hate about the web

The eight things that are described on the article about the web only cause confusion when people surf the web.  I think these eight things are the basic ones that we encounter everyday yet there are many that aren’t described in the article. Contrary to what the website says, I think that the ‘Friend Finder’ on Facebook comes in handy because sometimes I don’t friend request someone that I know. I agreed with the article when it said that  websites such as facebook and twitter exaggerate when they ask if you want to share what you do on other websites with everybody.  These setting are unnecessary and illogic. There is an aspect from certain websites that included in an article, the words are highlighted and when the mouse goes over these highlighted words, a box pop up with an advertisement.  Yahoo and other websites have this which is really bothersome because sometimes the box won’t disappear and the website has to be refreshed. I didn’t know that cookies can track what you do so that the advertisements that you receive are “appropriate”.  Third party cookies are cookies that are being downloaded by your browser which come from a website that is different from the one you’re visiting. 

Mult touch interfaces

Multi-touch interfaces are now becoming more common in today's world.  Smartphones such as the Iphone have quickly grown in the market which shows that it is more efficient and it allows the user of the interface to interact more naturally with a program by using body movements. The rapid increase in popularity and use of these mutli touch interfaces show how they represent the future in electronic devices.  The current use of mouses to interact with computers will slowly become less popular because new interfaces will show superiority in being more efficient. 

Devices such as virtual keyboards are being developed. A device of the size of a pen can produce an virtual image of a keyboard.

Modern devices such as touch screen smarphones and virtual keyboards are mostly used by the new generations of young men and women whom have grown up with these technologies. People of older generations who were raised without these modern technologies have shown difficulty in learning how to use these modern devices.  Some people don't want to use them and yet in today's world, society has come to depend on them.
