I was deeply engaged in this reading as it provided valuable insights into the origins of desktop computing and file management. What particularly resonated with me was the emphasis placed by the Xerox Star on user-centered design. This approach prioritized making computing more accessible and user-friendly, which has since become a foundational principle in modern desktop computing.
I could relate to the emphasis on user-centered design because when we are designing, we must always consider the users’ perspective and how we can enhance their experience.
