Question 13
• Posters – No because the user cannot ask questions so he/she is limited to the info given on the poster
• People Talking – yes because since they most likely know each other, they are being themselves and talking about anything
• Buying Food – no people the buyer most likely doesn't’t know the cashier so the conversation is short
