Design for Ease of Use

Lately, interest in function and the technology to fulfill this function has been increasing at the expense of a user's culture, how he understands such a technology and to what extent he can deal with the product and use it easily. For example, some users cannot fully understand how to operate CD-DVD players, use video devices, digital cameras and TVs. These devices, with the functions they contain, often require long hours to understand them, whether through trial or reading User Manual countless pages. Due to the difficulties and problems some users encounter in using some products and how to get the desired function, forcing them to waste much time and effort to figure out how to operate, use or perform some simple maintenance tasks. It may lead to users' reluctance to buy or use the product, meaning that the organization might lose potential profits.
