Transparency (human–computer interaction)

Transparency refers to how easily and clearly a computer program or interface displays information to the user. Think of it like looking through a window to see outside - if the window is clean and clear, it's easy for you to see what's going on outside. But if the window is dirty or foggy, it's harder for you to see.

So when a computer program or interface has good transparency, it means that the information it's showing you is clear and easy to understand. This could be anything from the colors and graphics used, to the organization of the information on the screen.

Good transparency helps you interact with the computer in a way that's efficient and easy for you to understand. It can also help prevent errors or confusion, since you can clearly see what the program or interface is doing.

Overall, transparency helps make technology more user-friendly and accessible, even for young children!
