Popis: Products targeted at the largest group are aimed to have the best ergonomic parameters and the maximum use value. Producers endeavour to make a product with the lowest number of controlling elements for the user to understand what they are used for and what is their purpose. The user is completely isolated from controlling the lowest levels functions which the user does not want to be concerned with. This should also be the case of programs of the future—if it comes true and will be seen in the years to come. This article tries to explain why the above situation doesn’t exist already today. It is a general consideration of the level of user interface of today’s application software. At the same time it is also an attempt to formulate future development in this field. It also concerns the biggest software producers, about their profits and a small user who cannot (or does not want to) defend themselves.
