Am I Taking A Course In Psychology?

Sometimes I feel that I'm doing a psychology major.

Yeah.

I've switched course.

I've quit Computing.

...

...

Constantly reading papers after papers about all those dumb psychology models and theories...

How it affecting human behavior, the process of human thoughts, cognitive reasoning, how people accept/reject ideas, how to do effective persuasion... the list goes on.


...


"Companies use persuasion in the form of advertising to convince consumers to buy their products or services. Students use persuasion to convince their parents to increase their allowance, or let them go to see a particular movie, or to let them use the car. Parents can use persuasion to get their children to study or to clean up their rooms. People use persuasion to get their friends to go to see a certain movie, or a band, or to hang out at the mall. Persuasion can convince another person to go out on a date. It can convince a teacher to accept a paper after the due date."



"Of course, people can also use threats to get what they want, but that is not persuasion. In persuasion, we try to convince the audience that they should want to do what we want them to do--not that they should do it “or else.”"



"The next wave in Web site design is persuasive design, designing for persuasion, emotion, and trust. While usability is still a fundamental requirement for effective Web site design, it is no longer enough.” "



"We are fundamentally lazy. As a result, products that require people to learn new things routinely fail. Instead, to increase a user’s ability, designers of persuasive experiences must make the behavior easier to do. In other words, persuasive design relies heavily on the power of simplicity."



"Consider, for example, how Facebook motivates new users to upload profile pictures. This feature of Facebook, like many other features, has persuaded millions of people to take action. That means millions of people have all had sufficient motivation and ability, and then Facebook has triggered these people to perform this behavior. This type of analysis could be the basis for a longer paper..."

As you can see, everything is a load of BS.




And now I have to write some stupid paper on this.





The last thing I saw before my sleep is the Word Document file.
The first thing I saw after my sleep is still the Word Document file.

How can I see life?!?!
