за својим радним столом
and how many weeks a year
и недеља у години
the Progress Bar]
an indicator on a computer
показатељ на компјутеру
inside the device.
for years is a horizontal bar.
користи је хоризонтална.
to pre-computer versions of this
још из периода пре појаве компјутера,
a horizontal bar from left to right
хоризонталну линију с десна на лево
they had completed at a factory.
завршили у фабрици.
to as "the software crisis,"
were getting more complicated
постали компликованији
had been prepared for,
indicators in different ways.
на процентима на различите начине.
countdown clock,
с леве стране на десну на екрану.
from left to right on a screen.
a systematic survey of these things
систематско истраживање о овим стварима
the user's experience
на кориснички доживљај
was giving you the accurate percent done.
приказује тачан проценат завршеног рада.
that it was there at all.
made people feel better,
about what this thing could do.
шта ова ствар може да уради.
relax effectively.
да се људи ефикасно одмарају.
to turn away from their machine
да се удаље од уређаја
of exactly the right duration.
што траје исто толико дуго.
"Oh, the progress bar is half done.
„О, линија тока је стигла до половине.
to send this fax,"
за слање овог факса“
in a tractor beam,
попут некаквог вучног зрака,
that you're seeing unfold in front of you:
који вам се одвија пред очима -
waiting in frustration
у нервозном чекању
about the progress bar
да размишљате о линији тока
about dulling the pain of waiting,
да ублажи бол због чекања,
around with the psychology.
да се бавите психологијом.
that just moves at a constant rate --
која се помера константном брзином,
what's happening in the computer --
што се дешава у компјутеру,
like it's slowing down.
trying to enhance it
са њеним унапређивањем
брже него што је то заиста случај,
more quickly than it really is,
like a burst of speed.
као некакву експлозију брзине.
"Oh! Something's really happening!"
„Ох! Нешто се заиста дешава!“
на природније напредовање линије тока
naturalistic growth of the progress bar
on the passage of time --
на протицање времена;
у ишчекивању да вода проври,
waiting for it to boil,
to make that less boring,
да то учините мање досадним,
it mitigates the fear of death.
ублажава страх од смрти.
