* Harder to use? (making)

I think access was the hardest to use out of the 3 applications because it was complicated and hard to use where as with zoho and wufoo was easier to use because it was more straight foward and it was not hard to use.

*Harder to understand? (thinking)

              *Synthesis-applying the theory stuff inside the program

              *get abit easier the more you do it

              *learn by failing

               *set yourself a goal

              *persisting in trying leads to greater success

              *accept minor defeat along the away

Why was it harder to use and understand?

 *more comfortable with software we use all the time

*we have no reason at all to have “played” with access

*no expectations of access and a low level reason to use it

*not intrested in it

i think access is alot harder to use and understand because it was alot bigger and alot more applications so it made it  alot more confusing and harder to use.
