Narrative experience
Saturday, July 21st, 2007On the questions website, I made a simple change. It really reassures people tremendously.
After answering the questions, I added one extra question. It asks what you’ve learned or discovered through these questions and your answers. And it shows all your questions and answers.
This recap is essential to any kind of deeply satisfying experience. Whether you’re reading a book, shopping for a shirt, or walking through the park, at some point near the end you will want to evaluate what’s just happened. Imagine a day where you did a lot of things, you got comfortably into bed, and suddenly you blacked out. If you hadn’t gone through the events of your day, putting them in order and deciding what they meant to you, you would be dissatisfied and bothered.
When your experience consists of answering questions, it’s natural to recap what you’ve just done by answering a question. That was the main missing step, and now that it’s in, people are a lot more comfortable with the website.
On another note, I’m really proud of how many computer languages I’ve learned, and what I can do without even thinking about it. For ya’ll developers out there, here are the languages and my skill level. I started with only intermediate knowledge of HTML. I learned: JavaScript - intermediate. PHP - intermediate. SQL - beginner. DHTML - beginner. AJAX - beginner. CSS - intermediate.
