Mapping can be termed or refereed to as the aspect of map-making. This is based on various issues that are supposed to be considered as far as communication and technology is concerned. It should be known that map making can be useful in communication based on different aspects. As far as the general principle of mapping is concerned, there are a lot of things that need to be looked at like design, implementing and generation. In this case, mapping revolves around a lot of technological issues that have evolved as time goes by.
Maps are supposed to be delivered effectively to optimize on technology and thereby enhance communication. All in all, the web has been used for dissemination of mapping in relation to communication and technology (Ong 23). Mapping principles have always changed as time goes by because technology is also evolving.
Mental mode seeks to explain how various things work in the real world. This is done by explaining somebody’s thought process. In this case, the world around us is represented by looking at various intuitive perceptions. It should be known that behavior is generally shaped from mental modes. As far as the principles of mental mode are concerned, there are fundamental assumptions that will always distinguish various aspects.
Mental modes can be distinguished from other representations. As a matter of fact, there is always a possibility that can be represented by each mental mode. What is common is always captured as far as mental mode is concerned. A mental mode is very important in ensuring that we have a dynamic system (Blais 27). It should be known that a mental mode can be explained in various forms. In this case, system dynamics can be connected to enhance communication.
The proximity principle revolves around a rule that is very important in communication and technology. In this case, it is quite obvious that if objects are close to each other, there is always an implication that they might be seen as relating units. This means that if various objects are together, there is a similarity that might exist.
As a matter of fact, all this objects can be said to belong together based on their closeness and the features that they share. This similarity can be on a visual perspective that definitely creates an important bond. Designs can be enhanced thorough the proximity principle thereby enhancing communication. As a matter of fact, a bond between elements and people on a given page can be enhanced through proximity (Ong 45).
All this principles can be combined to ensure that there is a less problematic interface. This is as far as the user and technology are concerned. An interface as a point of interaction is very important in connecting various components (Lidwell et al. 74). All this principles can be combined through visual organization. These visual organization principles have various logical ways that can be employed for long term sustainability. In a broad perspective, all these principles can be combined through proper evolution of an interface (Ron 56).
A less problematic interface between these principles can be achieved by looking at various similarities that might exist thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the alliance. Examining similarities ensures that there is a proper sense of representation as far as these principles are concerned. Effective coordination of mapping, mental mode and proximity can provide a good interaction interface that will not give the user any problem. The use of major metaphors that relate to these principles should be used as time goes by.
