So when we think about great design what comes to our mind is great visuals, sleek UI, some futuristic interface like holograms or some fancy visual graphics. That's what we all picture right? But here's the thing nobody really talks about, Sound.
If we trace back to history, way back to the primitive age, when there is no UI or laptop or any kind of tech stuff, back then if we want to convey information we used to do it using sound and signs. That was it. That was the whole communication system. And as technology evolved from the punching card to write code, to the first CLI, to the GUI, the way we interact with computers kept changing but sound was always there somewhere in the background doing its job quietly.
Sound Was Always There, We Just Stopped Noticing
Before GUI is introduced, there is only way for computer to pass down information to user, either use the text or use simpler sound effects. Back then sound was used but not that widely. When the new GUI interface is introduced to the user, the user found new way to interact with the computers. Today what we consider obvious like mouse clicking, dragging mouse, clicking button, controlling bunch of things, we today take for granted, all of this is first invented by someone and back then all of this new interface is brought to end user.
