What's Wrong with Standard User Interfaces?

Over the past few years user interfaces, especially graphical ones, have been emphasized in the design of computer systems [1]. Users often take for granted the interfaces of today's computer systems. The person entering data or typing up a report does not even consider the work that has gone into making the system and its applications as easy to use as a pen and paper. The difficulty that does go into creating the "perfect" user interface begins from the systems inception and does not end until the system becomes obsolete. Even then, the lasting effects of the interface on its users will make future designers work more laborious. This paper will discuss the design process of the user interface. It concludes with some suggestions that future designers may wish to consider to make their jobs easier.
