👉 Convenience engineering, also known as "procedural convenience," refers to the design of systems, products, or services with the primary goal of making them easier and more convenient for users to interact with, often at the expense of other factors like cost, quality, or environmental impact. This approach focuses on minimizing effort and maximizing ease of use by streamlining processes, reducing decision-making burdens, and often incorporating intuitive interfaces. While it can significantly enhance user satisfaction by making tasks less cumbersome, it may also lead to unintended consequences, such as increased dependency on technology or neglect of other important considerations. The key is to strike a balance where convenience does not compromise overall user experience or broader societal benefits.
