Device and what happens |
How often and total duration |
What’s it like |
Phone – gives BBC news notification |
Once1 sec |
It beeps in my handbag and is a bit annoying, as the noise of the phone disrupts me from what I’m doing. |
Phone – send a message to colleague to check whether meeting is on |
Once1 minute |
Good. Quick way of checking things, because starting my email can sometimes take ages due to poor Wi-Fi in my workplace. |
Laptop – check whether meeting is on Skype |
Once5 minutes |
OK. Depends on whether Wi-Fi is up and running. I can see that other people are not online which is good to know. |
Laptop – check email |
4 times20 minutes |
Email has become second nature to me. I use it the whole time. I can’t remember anymore whether it is a good experience or not – it is what it is. |
Door – opening with RFID security tag |
6 times2 minutes |
Getting in through the main door is tricky as I have two bags in my hands and find it awkward to swipe the card with my hands full. Later, door access is OK because I’ve got rid of my heavy bags. |
Laptop – open documents in Word |
3 times20 minutes |
Opened attachments to mail in Word. Unfortunately Word crashed, so not a very good experience. This has happened a lot to me recently. |
