- Blinking_twelve_problem abstract "The blinking twelve problem is a term used in Software Design. It usually refers to features in software which are unusable due to the complexity of the user interface to use them.The usage emanates from the 'clock' feature provided on many VCR's manufactured in the late 1980s or early 1990s. The clock could be set by using a combination of buttons provided on the VCR in a specific sequence which was found complicated by most users. As a result, VCR users were seldom known to set the time on the VCR clock. This resulted in the default time '12:00' blinking on the VCR display at all times - which is the origin of this term.In Software, any feature which is either an overkill or desirable but rendered difficult to use due to complexity of the user interface, is referred to as 'the blinking twelve problem'. This may also refer to the challenge faced by software companies to address users' actual difficulties.The terms is usually used mostly by geeks often in discussion forums. The term was supposedly originated by Neal Stephenson - a well-known author of science fiction and a self-confessed geek.".
