Exploring Technology Design Practices

What is the primary goal of technology design?

• To create effective solutions that meet user needs.

• To eliminate all forms of technology.

• To create complex systems that confuse users.

• To maximize profits for companies.

Name one key principle of user-centered design.

• Involvement of users in the design process.

• Prioritizing technology over user needs.

• Designing without user feedback.

• Focus on aesthetic design only.

How does prototyping benefit the design process?

• Prototyping slows down the design process by adding unnecessary steps.

• Prototyping eliminates the need for user feedback during design.

• Prototyping benefits the design process by enabling visualization, testing, and iterative improvements.

• Prototyping is only useful for finalizing the design without any revisions.

What role does feedback play in technology design?

• Feedback is irrelevant to technology design.

• Feedback is only useful after the technology is launched.

• Feedback only complicates the design process.

• Feedback plays a vital role in refining and improving technology design.

Define the term 'iterative design'.

• Iterative design is a user-centered design methodology that emphasizes repeated cycles of prototyping, testing, and refining.

• A method that focuses solely on initial design without revisions.

• A process that avoids user feedback during development.

• A one-time design approach that does not involve testing.

What is the significance of accessibility in technology design?

• Accessibility limits design creativity and innovation.

• Accessibility is only important for government websites.

• Accessibility features are only necessary for older adults.

• Accessibility in technology design is significant because it promotes inclusivity and ensures usability for people with diverse abilities.

How can technology design impact sustainability?

• Technology design can increase energy consumption.

• Technology design has no effect on environmental impact.

• Technology design is solely focused on aesthetics.

• Technology design can enhance sustainability by improving efficiency, reducing waste, and promoting renewable resources.

What are the common tools used in technology design?

• Email clients

• Word processing software

• Common tools include CAD software, prototyping tools (like Figma or Sketch), simulation software, and project management tools (like Jira or Trello).

• Spreadsheet applications

Explain the concept of 'design thinking'.

• Design thinking eliminates the need for user feedback.

• Design thinking is a user-centered approach to innovation that combines empathy, creativity, and rationality to solve complex problems.

• Design thinking is solely focused on financial gain.

• Design thinking is a method for creating physical products only.

How does collaboration influence technology design outcomes?

• Collaboration enhances creativity and effectiveness in technology design outcomes.

• Collaboration has no impact on technology design outcomes.

• Collaboration slows down the technology design process.

• Collaboration leads to fewer ideas and less innovation.
