So what's up with these confirmation messages and computers? I recently installed a new operating system for a friend and the first thing that I noticed after booting into it was those dreaded are you sure you want to delete the files that you have selected.
Not only that but by default the file goes to the trashbin where you can recover it so that it would not be completely lost, and even if it would not go there you would still be able to recover it with file recovery tools. You mark it, you press Delete and what happens? You are asked if you really, really want to delete that file or if you made a mistake. The same can be said if you want to delete a file in Windows. If you ever played a game you noticed that every game, and I really mean every single commercial game that plays in full screen is asking the user if he really wants to leave it after pressing the Exit button. Have you ever used a coffee machine that did ask you if you really wanted to start making coffee, an iPod if you really wanted to play music?Ĭomputers asks those stupid things all the time. Confirmation messages seem to be pretty unique to computers.
