1 00:00:00,764 --> 00:00:02,990 My name is David and I am a researcher here at the University of California Berkeley. 2 00:00:04,076 --> 00:00:06,610 I have been asked by others to help improve a piece of software for people like you. 3 00:00:07,339 --> 00:00:11,319 Um, I'm not the one who is responsible for the software, so don't worry about offending me. 4 00:00:12,089 --> 00:00:15,092 We're here to to try and make this software as usable as possible. 5 00:00:15,465 --> 00:00:19,067 We would especially like your help in finding any parts which are difficult or confusing. 6 00:00:19,710 --> 00:00:23,312 To this end, we are asking you to perform a "cognitive walkthrough". 7 00:00:23,312 --> 00:00:27,457 This involves talking out loud while you perform the tasks that we ask you to complete. 8 00:00:27,457 --> 00:00:30,115 I am going to be here simply to observe. 9 00:00:30,115 --> 00:00:31,763 Don't wait for my feedback. 10 00:00:31,763 --> 00:00:34,463 And I will try to not interact as much as possible. 11 00:00:37,645 --> 00:00:40,277 So I'm going to give you a short example of what I mean by cognitive walkthrough, 12 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:48,527 um, so I am going to give myself a task and then do it and while I am doing it I am going to explain what I see. 13 00:00:49,064 --> 00:00:52,939 Why I am clicking on things, what I expect to happen, if something happens that is surprising. 14 00:00:53,581 --> 00:00:54,582 I will just say that out loud. 15 00:00:55,195 --> 00:01:00,015 So, the task I am going to give is I need to open a paint program and I need to draw a red hexagon. 16 00:01:01,335 --> 00:01:05,876 So I am here at the desktop, and I see there's some applications at the bottom 17 00:01:06,331 --> 00:01:08,600 but none of them looks like it is a drawing program. 18 00:01:09,390 --> 00:01:11,929 So, I am going to search for drawing. 19 00:01:12,373 --> 00:01:15,435 And there is a magnifying glass and I know that that means search. 20 00:01:15,844 --> 00:01:20,108 I will click that and see if we have have something... "paintbrush". 21 00:01:21,215 --> 00:01:23,445 Okay, Paintbrush looks good, like it will work. 22 00:01:24,674 --> 00:01:26,512 So I click on that, that's the first link. 23 00:01:27,918 --> 00:01:31,641 Now, it looks like it is asking me for how big the image should be. 24 00:01:32,055 --> 00:01:36,054 And I wonder if I'll be able to change this later or if I have to decide now. 25 00:01:36,912 --> 00:01:40,762 But uh I am not going to worry about it too much and I am just going to go with the default. 26 00:01:42,989 --> 00:01:47,914 Okay, the window resized and that I think that means that it resized to the numbers that were there. 27 00:01:48,620 --> 00:01:52,575 So now, uh, I need to switch to red color. 28 00:01:53,150 --> 00:01:57,971 Um, so I click here and it gave me something red. 29 00:01:58,745 --> 00:02:01,421 And now I wonder if there is a tool to draw a hexagon. 30 00:02:02,209 --> 00:02:05,802 There's this, this only says "Rectangle". That doesn't look right. 31 00:02:08,658 --> 00:02:10,935 I don't think these do it, so I might have to draw it myself. 32 00:02:11,546 --> 00:02:16,449 Uh, I will do the line tool and try to draw a line. 33 00:02:18,399 --> 00:02:22,206 Uh, something is wrong because the line is black even though I picked red. 34 00:02:23,141 --> 00:02:27,354 So, I am going to try and undo that. "Edit", "Undo". 35 00:02:28,733 --> 00:02:32,381 Um, click the red, it doesn't work. 36 00:02:34,557 --> 00:02:37,264 This is color selection, let me try this. 37 00:02:38,116 --> 00:02:41,902 Okay, now that changed down here. So that's a little strange. Let me try red again. 38 00:02:43,076 --> 00:02:44,943 Okay, so now it's actually red. 39 00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:48,647 Now let me try drawing the shape. 40 00:02:54,774 --> 00:02:57,496 I wonder if there is like a tool to automatically close this shape, 41 00:02:58,046 --> 00:03:02,445 but I am not actually going to try because I wouldn't know where to find it, so I am just going to close it. 42 00:03:04,157 --> 00:03:10,824 And now, I know from other paint programs that this paint bucket will fill it in and I click and that's exactly what I expected to happen. 43 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,544 So that's the example cognitive walkthrough. 44 00:03:13,925 --> 00:03:16,947 Now I am going to give you another simple example where I want you to practice doing this technique. 45 00:03:17,507 --> 00:03:18,062 Sure. 46 00:03:18,582 --> 00:03:22,561 So, I want you to open a web browser and find the population of Zimbabwe. 47 00:03:32,165 --> 00:03:37,288 Okay, good. Now I need you explain what you are doing as you, um, take each step of the process. 48 00:03:39,361 --> 00:03:39,762 Oh, okay. 49 00:03:40,143 --> 00:03:43,568 So run through that again and explain like each step you took, starting from opening the browser. 50 00:03:44,058 --> 00:03:47,836 So now I'm opening Safari, that's what I usually use. 51 00:03:48,230 --> 00:03:48,682 Mmhmm. 52 00:03:49,235 --> 00:03:57,453 Now I type in "population in"... "population in zimbabwe". 53 00:03:58,685 --> 00:04:00,622 The thing is that I don't know how to spell it but there is... [Laughter.] 54 00:04:01,925 --> 00:04:06,638 There it is in the search history so I click enter and there it is. 55 00:04:07,182 --> 00:04:07,824 Okay. 56 00:04:08,317 --> 00:04:15,311 According to numbers in 2013, the population is uh 14.15 million population in Zimbabwe. 57 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:21,771 Okay great, good. So now we'll move on to the real experiment. 58 00:04:22,324 --> 00:04:25,033 So today, it's going to be a test of a web browser that is called Tor Browser. 59 00:04:25,562 --> 00:04:25,975 Okay. 60 00:04:26,504 --> 00:04:26,932 Have you heard of it before? 61 00:04:27,478 --> 00:04:27,877 No. 62 00:04:28,372 --> 00:04:31,089 Okay. And uh these are the instructions I want you to follow. 63 00:04:31,524 --> 00:04:31,925 Mmhmm. 64 00:04:32,386 --> 00:04:34,081 As much as possible, I want you to figure it out on your own. 65 00:04:34,389 --> 00:04:38,725 But if we get really stuck, then we'll, we'll find a way to solve it. Do you have any questions before we start? 66 00:04:40,278 --> 00:04:41,858 I need to see if I can find Tor. 67 00:04:42,365 --> 00:04:42,764 Okay. 68 00:04:43,331 --> 00:04:43,730 Okay. 69 00:04:44,146 --> 00:04:44,547 Yeah, that is part of it. 70 00:04:45,021 --> 00:04:45,422 Okay. 71 00:04:45,891 --> 00:04:50,028 So, uh just start now and then do whatever you would do at home if you had to... 72 00:04:50,576 --> 00:04:53,271 Do I need to close the web browser and open it again or I just... 73 00:04:53,952 --> 00:04:55,041 If you would use this browser, you can leave it open. 74 00:04:55,572 --> 00:05:03,446 Okay. So I just would type in "tor" in the uh search engine and "Tor Project"... 75 00:05:04,708 --> 00:05:08,814 "Anonymity Online", I guess this is it. 76 00:05:09,396 --> 00:05:11,199 And I click. 77 00:05:12,586 --> 00:05:17,101 And the there is a "Download Tor", so I am going to click this. 78 00:05:18,245 --> 00:05:21,822 It's for Mac. So I will click download. 79 00:05:23,206 --> 00:05:24,134 Okay. It's downloading. 80 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,517 Uh, so during the download time, it will take a few minutes. 81 00:05:27,975 --> 00:05:28,375 Okay. 82 00:05:28,925 --> 00:05:34,357 Go ahead and just describe anything that you see or you observe about this page or this download task. 83 00:05:36,939 --> 00:05:38,187 "Want Tor to really work"... 84 00:05:39,144 --> 00:05:50,064 Um... "Full list of warnings"... Okay. I am going to read the "want Tor to really work". 85 00:05:50,064 --> 00:05:50,786 Do I need to read this aloud? 86 00:05:52,384 --> 00:05:54,901 No, but just say what it makes you think about as you're reading it. 87 00:05:55,338 --> 00:05:57,990 Or if anything looks really important to you that you would normally notice. 88 00:06:00,677 --> 00:06:08,105 Uh... "Don't torrent over Tor". "Torrent file-sharing applications have been 89 00:06:08,105 --> 00:06:12,531 observed to ignored proxy settings and make direct connections even when they are told to use Tor." 90 00:06:13,913 --> 00:06:19,290 Okay, it seems I cannot use torrent while on Tor. 91 00:06:20,869 --> 00:06:25,286 That's important to know. Okay. Um, 92 00:06:25,975 --> 00:06:29,394 "Don't enable or install browser plugins". 93 00:06:30,293 --> 00:06:32,468 Oh, okay. That's good to know. 94 00:06:32,468 --> 00:06:41,495 Um. So, I guess that means when I use Tor I cannot watch videos? 95 00:06:41,495 --> 00:06:46,307 That's a little bit concerning for me. Um. 96 00:06:47,877 --> 00:06:53,939 And... Oh, "Don't open documents downloaded through Tor while online". 97 00:06:59,821 --> 00:07:01,564 Um. 98 00:07:04,795 --> 00:07:06,966 Okay. I think I understand. 99 00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:18,435 But I am wondering since you are browsing Internet if you cannot read the documents online or watch videos while you are on Tor. 100 00:07:18,898 --> 00:07:19,836 That's a little bit inconvenient. 101 00:07:20,283 --> 00:07:20,682 Mm. 102 00:07:24,718 --> 00:07:26,351 Okay.

Okay. Ahh. 116 00:09:00,970 --> 00:09:06,600 I think this will work. Since I changed the security settings... yes. 117 00:09:09,048 --> 00:09:12,980 Okay. So here comes the "Tor Network Settings". 118 00:09:13,333 --> 00:09:18,548 "Which of the following best describes your situation?" "Connect directly to the Tor network, this will work in most situations". 119 00:09:19,086 --> 00:09:22,313 Okay. I will just click "Connect". 120 00:09:35,407 --> 00:09:37,222 Okay.

So it says "Use the recommended proxy settings for my version of Firefox". 189 00:13:52,232 --> 00:13:55,971 So, I guess when I click "New Identity" it opens Firefox? 190 00:13:57,100 --> 00:13:59,993 No. Wait—Sorry, I am a little bit confused now. [Laughter.] 191 00:14:00,816 --> 00:14:06,692 That's fine. I can explain some things afterward. But just now, just explain that you are confused. 192 00:14:07,365 --> 00:14:08,904 Okay, I am confused now. 193 00:14:09,432 --> 00:14:12,078 The "Proxy Settings", so I am going to the security settings. 194 00:14:14,419 --> 00:14:19,782 Oh, it says "Don't record browsing history or website data". 195 00:14:21,130 --> 00:14:25,778 "Disable browser plugins, (such as Flash)". 196 00:14:26,166 --> 00:14:29,267 "Restrict third-party cookies and other tracking"...

Okay. 199 00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:47,355 So it's the default webpage set on the browser. 200 00:14:48,748 --> 00:14:51,679 How about the bar here? Oh, okay. 201 00:14:52,975 --> 00:14:59,438 Here is the history, "Save Page", "Bookmarks", like normal web browser has. 202 00:15:00,667 --> 00:15:04,504 Okay. Uh, "Sign in to Sync". Oh, okay. 203 00:15:05,222 --> 00:15:11,168 So I can use this on one laptop and I will see my history and bookmarks on the other. 204 00:15:11,650 --> 00:15:12,197 Mmhmm. 205 00:15:14,258 --> 00:15:16,655 Okay, good to know.
