Chapter 14: Museum Kiosk

It's hard to say this chapter was interesting since Garrand doesn't really write in an entertaining way (in fact, he tends to put me to sleep). However, the information in this chapter was quite interesting, and I enjoyed learning about it, just not reading it...if that makes sense. :) I don't know why, but I have a really hard time with the case studies Garrand uses. I really can't stand to read the sections when he focuses only on the case study. In the case of this chapter, those were the sections that looked at The Nauticus Shipbuilding Company in great detail. Oh well, that doesn't really matter, and I should be focusing on the content and not the writer in this post. You might think I'm kind of slow, but I didn't realize I had used a kiosk until going through this chapter. It was interesting to understand what a kiosk was and be able to see how often I use them. Probably the greatest realization that I experienced during the chapter was how difficult it is to write the text for a kiosk. It would be pretty difficult to make the language of the text easy enough for a diverse group of people to comprehend it and still make it interesting enough to capture a person's attention within the 5-second gap.
