Anticipatory design is rampant in online shopping with sites such as Amazon, which tracks data about its users to personalize purchase recommendations. This may help users decide on purchases better, but also begs the question of the ethics of companies holding user data.

Anticipatory design seems like a foolproof solution to the endless decision making presented on the internet. I go through the overwhelming nature of this almost every day. However, AD seems like a step further into overreliance on technology.

I researched many types of business sites that use innovative design such as in the link below. One that caught my eye was Eugenius, an IT site with a 3D interactive component to show their services that operates like a video game. #ubart320 #discovery

Brunborg's article made me consider how websites for similar things are alike in design: many clothing stores have the same dropdown menus, restaurants/chains have the same menu displays,etc. It would be refreshing to see a commercial site that is different. #ubart320 #reading4

Color psychology is an understanding of how color elicits certain emotions and convey messages to viewers. In web design, color can be used to sell, grab attention, and promote site use. It is useful to know their meanings in design. https://t.co/c3pavkIGHm

In response to color as a design element, it's fascinating how color evokes certain emotions in people and interesting to think about how to use them in marketing to different audiences, and the fact that more muted colors are seen as "more professional". #ubart320 #reading2

Some states have decided to fight the decision to repeal net neutrality with their own laws such as CA. However the Justice Department has recently moved to block CA's law to uphold net neutrality, begging if this really can be fought. #ubart320 #reading1 https://t.co/6QdnhfuM9E
