UX / UI

UX ≠ UI

UI is

rounded corners, shadowing, error messages, alerts, updates,
checkboxes, password fields, search fields, text inputs, radio selections,
text areas, hover states, selection states, pressed states, tooltips, banner
ads, embedded videos, swipe animations, scrolling, clicking, iconography,
colors, lists, slideshows, alt text, badges, notifications, gradients, pop ups,
comment sections, carousels, OK/cancel,…

UX is
People, happiness, solving problems, understanding needs, love,
efﬁciency, entertainment, pleasure, delight, smiles, soul, warmth,
personality, helpful, joy, satisfaction, gratiﬁcation, joy, elation, exhilaration,
bliss, euphoria, convenience, enchantment, magic, productivity,
effectiveness, …

Our output has become more
screen time for more people.

Teens 7.5 hours

Consequences to
screen-based
thinking.

Distracted
The CDC has found that 1,000 people are
injured, nearly 10 people die everyday in 
The United States because they are
distracted by their cell phones while driving.

Ruins Sleep
The color temperature of our screens
mimics mid-day, throwing off our sleep
cycles when we look at them at night.

Less Creative
“Studies suggest that we get our most
original ideas when we stop the constant
stimulation and let ourselves get bored...”
“Bored and Brilliant”, WNYC

Less Empathetic
“…Sixth-graders who went ﬁve days
without exposure to technology were
signiﬁcantly better at reading human
emotions than kids who had regular access
to phones, televisions and computers.”
“Kids And Screen Time”, NPR

Don’t get me wrong

But we can greatly
reduce the amount of
screen time that’s
necessary.

Today, instead, our lives
are ﬁlled with screens.
