First, pick a piece of computing technology that you have used or purchased in the last 12 mos or so. This could be a new smartphone, microwave, smartwatch, calculator, maybe a computer, tablet, GPS, video game system, etc.
Then, identify what affordances this thing has (at least to you).
Next, identify how these affordances are signified within the interface.
Finally, discuss how well these affordances were signaled in your device, was it clear and easy to use, or was it confusing at first, and were there any hidden affordances?
