The tendency for too many app installations on a mobile device and depreciation of the user experience.

Everyone loves installing the latest app onto their phone, what wonderful functionality awaits the user? When thinking of an operating system like iOS, how many apps should ideally be installed on the device, simple enough question. Well the answer depends on what types of app are installed, for example the types of app we have installed slightly change the utility of the device. If we install apps to control our home we see the iPhone turning more into a remote control device. If the apps are mainly to order food we see the device becoming an ordering device. No problems, well everything is fine until we appreciate the user experience, does an iPhone really make a good controller for home devices?


So the main takeaway is that the apps installed on a device like iPhone are influential in terms of device user experienceand therefore the types of apps you have installed matter. Another way of thinking about this is that you can make the iPone a better or worse user experience (in the context of iOS) depending on your choice of app.

Trust in humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles.

I viewed a Google YouTube short of Elon Musk getting his hair cut by an optimus humanoid robot and I thought about how impressive it is to have a skilled robot. Also, after a short discussion with some automotive professionals the topic of trust came up with reference to autonomous vehicles, “would you trust it?” They said. Well I thought that trust can be increased in stages by having the humanoid robot carry out riskier tasks, for example optimus might perform  a perfect straight razor shave  I'm sure Elon and others will be happy to volunteer once the optimus has been perfected. Happy holidays and a super prosperous 2025!

In current times employees intelligence can be augmented by AI and in particular Gen AI and it's about how well the employee can use gen AI to extend their human capabilities or make up for any deficiencies/weaknesses. How much weighting should the average employee give to the results of gen ai prompts? Are the employees generally rewarded or admonished for relying on gen ai? Is there more credit given to ideas that have been created by a human mind only or does the use of gen ai matter? Should every business have a gen ai usage policy? This post was created without the direct use of gen ai.
