Poor implementation

If you want an example of poor implementation of technology, check out the electronic directory boards on the third floor at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. It’s a case of old school paper/poster far superior to expensive LCD board. For one it displays each level of the center a page at a time, you have to wait the designated seconds for the screen to scroll to the next level. Looking for a shop, you’re likely to stand there looking though all four pages, and then some because it’ll go past your screen by the time you look through the listing and find your store and the legend code. Have fun finding store if you don’t know its name. Once you find it, the screen scrolls off, so you wait for all for screens to scroll by again. And then you see the screen, frantically look for the legend code on map, then stare at map to try & figure out where you are since it’s not marked, the screen scrolls away so you sit for yet another four screens, and then try to figure which way to go since the map is not oriented in the position you are standing. It’s a frustrating mess!
