2INTERNET TECHNOLOGIESAnswer Number 1The best interface for a system is no user interface, this theory has been a recent crazeamong the software or application developers. This concept circumvents the fact that theutility of an application can be improved even without the implementation of an interface.There are numerous examples that prove the validity of the statement mentioned above. Oneof the examples is as provided below (Johnson, 2013).In recent years, several car companies have developed applications for smart phonesthat facilitate the consumers of their car to unlock the doors of the cars remotely (Barga,Fontama & Tok, 2015). The unlocking procedure follows the following steps:Figure 1: Steps of a Car Unlocking Mechanism by using UI(Source: Barga, Fontama & Tok, 2015)The following procedure lets the driver to open the car door and enter the car using aSmartphone latest application that involves 13 steps to complete. The application compels theStudent Name:

Moreover, the experience is designedaround the flow of the computer, instead of the flow of a person. However, it can be arrangedthat eliminating the UI from the above-mentioned process reduce the complete procedure toonly three steps:Figure 2: Car Door Unlocking Mechanism without using UI(Source: Paparo & Martin-Delgado, 2012)The simplicity can be achieved by many processes, which is possible without theinvolvement of any user interface. Sophisticated technologies like motion sensors, proximitysensors and biometric plates can be used for achieving this objective. Proximity sensorintegrated to the locking mechanism of a car can detect the presence of the registered driverwithin a specified range around the car and unlock the door automatically. The door lock ofthe car can also be equipped with biometric sensors that only open when the registeredfingerprint of the driver is placed on it (Paparo & Martin-Delgado, 2012).The process shown in Figure 2 reduces the complexity of the steps in Figure 1 yetimproves the experience of the driver. All of this is achieved without the use of any UI.Therefore, the validity of the statement is thus proved by the example. Applications withoutUI have a variety of utility in today’s world ranging from domestic to organisation. One ofthe remarkable utility of such application can be found for the daily works of the visuallydisabled people. These types of applications help the blind people to perform various digitalfunctions through gesture and voice processes like making calls, composing and sendingStudent Name:
