Studio Two: Bus Notification Systems



What could you do to establish that this system is usable-in-itself?

This piece of technology is now very common in modern day society.  Upon looking it at it, you can immediatly recognise that the piece of equipment is a very good invention.  The system in itself, is extremely well thought of because, in a lab situation, the digital timetable will work exceptionally well most of the time.  It is clear to read, it is simple to see which one is your bus and follow it along to see when it will be arriving. 


What could you do to establish that this system is usable-in-life?

Being a regular bus-user myself, I can relate to using these types of technology very well.  I am familiar with how they work and how accurate they are.  Most of the time I have used one of these, I have had no problem reading and understanding when my bus will be arriving.  My personal oppinion on these are that they are a very good invention.  I think with technology being updated and upgraded every day, this sort of equipment was needed to boost th eexperience of everyday life.  Looking at one of these digital timetables is a lot easier than trying to find your bus on the paper version of the timetable.  I think in modern day society it makes sense to have something of this quality present at every bus stop.   However, while thinking that this technology is a good idea, they also have their down sides.  The fact is, that even the best piece of technology can have a problem occur and so with people relying on these to help them plan their journey, for it to go wrong, by switching of or simply playing up, can be very tormenting to the general public and can make them wish that the paper form was present instead.
