It
means how it works for us in our everyday life. In a real context, with real
users, with real motivation. For example how me use a mobile phone, how easy it
is to use in everyday life. Receiving lots of texts at once and being able to
replay to hem without any problems.
How is
usability-in-life different to usability-in-itself?
It’s
not relevant to real users. Decontextualised’ technology. It only really tests
certain features of a device rather testing the features that a real user would
use, and how they actually carry out certain tasks.

Questions
How
would it help you to know how late your bus is going to be?
If
your bus gets cancelled, will it help you to arrange to get another form of
transport to get home or to work?
What
would the people that use buses like to see from an electronic timetable?
How
often use the electronic timetables against the paper timetables?
