Unit 2
Procedures
Procedures are the way that the user knows how to use the computer. They tell the user how the thing works and how to go about controlling it. Without procedures you would have people inserting strawberries into the CD-ROM and expecting toast to come out or, more realistically, having people not save their documents before closing them and expecting their 4000 page manuscript to still be there when they turn the computer back on. Without procedures, the user can have little understanding of what the computer can do and how to get the computer to do it.
