책상에서 지루한 시간을 보낼까요?
and how many weeks a year
the Progress Bar]
an indicator on a computer
inside the device.
for years is a horizontal bar.
길쭉한 가로 막대 모양입니다.
to pre-computer versions of this
a horizontal bar from left to right
색칠해서 채우는 방법으로
they had completed at a factory.
진행되었는지 기록하곤 했습니다.
것이 일어났습니다.
to as "the software crisis,"
were getting more complicated
훨씬 복잡해진 것입니다.
had been prepared for,
훨씬 빠른 속도로 말이죠.
indicators in different ways.
완료율을 표시합니다.
countdown clock,
시계 그림을 보여주거나
from left to right on a screen.
하나씩 늘어나게 할 수도 있죠.
a systematic survey of these things
체계적으로 조사한 적이 없습니다.
the user's experience
실제로 어떤 영향을 미치냐는 것이죠.
실제로 일치하는지는
was giving you the accurate percent done.
that it was there at all.
보여준다는 사실이었습니다.
made people feel better,
사람들의 기분은 더 나아졌고
about what this thing could do.
수많은 것들을 생각했습니다.
relax effectively.
안정감을 줄 수도 있고
to turn away from their machine
컴퓨터를 잠시 놔두고
of exactly the right duration.
있겠다고 생각했죠.
"Oh, the progress bar is half done.
"로딩 바가 절반 차있네.
to send this fax,"
5분 더 걸리겠네."
사람들이 썼던 것들이요.
거기에 시선이 꽂혀서
in a tractor beam,
that you're seeing unfold in front of you:
짜릿한 경험으로 바꿔놓습니다.
waiting in frustration
짜증나던 시간이
멋진 일이 일어나고 있어!"
about the progress bar
about dulling the pain of waiting,
여기기 시작하는 순간
around with the psychology.
장난을 쳐볼 수 있죠.
that just moves at a constant rate --
로딩 바가 있고
what's happening in the computer --
like it's slowing down.
trying to enhance it
more quickly than it really is,
보이도록 만드는 겁니다.
like a burst of speed.
"Oh! Something's really happening!"
"우와! 진짜로 진행되고 있어!"
naturalistic growth of the progress bar
좀 더 자연스러운 진행 속도에
on the passage of time --
집중한다는 전제를 두는 겁니다.
waiting for it to boil,
지켜보려고 한다고요.
to make that less boring,
만들어주는 것입니다.
시각적으로 보여주고
it mitigates the fear of death.
줄여주는 것 같습니다.
