Provide an argument explaining why delays should be kept short for everyday tasks of a user, using short-term and working memory as the basis for your argument.

What will be an ideal response?

Everyday tasks are those that the user is probably quite familiar and would expect a fairly rapid response to repetitive tasks. Complex, intermittent tasks would require more user think time, leading to expectations of a longer task completion time. Short-term memory will aid in the rapid, repetitive tasks. Working memory will come into play for the more complex tasks leading to longer task completion time.
