The problem I will talk about in this journal is the new addition feature in the YouTube website. Now, after the person finishes from watching the video he selected, YouTube automatically directs the viewer to another video if the viewer did not click any existing video. This means YouTube forces me to watch the video they select it to me which contradicts with the affordance of the YouTube website, selecting any video the viewer likes. This problem also prevents me to replay the video I selected because the YouTube goes to another video without taking my permission to change the video I selected before. Additionally, this problem usually upset me because I need to research again to see my video. To solve this problem, YouTube should remove this addition feature. If YouTube wants to advertise some videos, they can have these videos when my video ends without taking me to that video unless I agree and hit the video I want to see. In this case, YouTube advertise their videos and I will not be upset because I can replay my video and can select any advertised video if I have the desire to see without forcing me to see it by automatic direction to the advertised video.

The problem I will talk about in this journal is the quality of the sensor in the automatic door. The problem is that the sensor sometimes is not sensitive for short people or children. The sensor is located on the top of the automatic door which makes a long distance between the sensor and the short person. This long distance makes the sensor not sense the presence of the short person and thus the door will not open. In other words, the insensivity of the sensor constrains the entry of short people. To open the door, short people should raise their hands so the sensor can sense them and open the door for them. But sometimes, even after raising the hand, the sensor does not sense. In this case, people should wait until someone who is taller than them come to open the door for them. I personally sometimes face this problem. To solve the problem, I suggest to use high quality sensor that can sense the presence of people regardless of how tall they are, so all people can enter the door without facing any problem that may upset them and let him feel negatively to their self because they are short.
