This Is Deeply Stupid: Samsung Unveils 43 Inch TV That Swivels Into Vertical Orientation To Become One Giant Smartphone ScreenYou're paying $1,623 for a smallish tv. Just so you can orient it to look like a smart phone and mimic the smart phone GUI. As for why the Sero can transform into a smartphone-style vertical screen, Samsung says it's designed to display content from a smartphone for the millennial generation. No, it's not. It's really not. It's stupid. Here's what this incredibly dumb object looks like in horizontal mode and then here's what this stupid silly thing looks like in vertical mode. They really are banking that some people are so addicted to their smart phones the idea of a literal Giant SmartPhone is sixteen hundred dollars worth of appealing to them. And some people think that people are addicted to their smartphones. A couple of recent articles discuss smartphoneinternet addiction. First, Molly Morris in the WSJ: Tristan Harris emerged as the conscience of Silicon Valley two years ago, when his presentations about tech addiction prompted the industry’s giants to change the way they design products and grapple more seriously with the dark side of social media and smartphones. The American Conservative looks at other former tech evangelists turned tech Cassandras. Yet even if the counter-tech trend is minuscule, it’'s still notable, because it seems to be led by the people who know tech best--the denizens of Silicon Valley. Sample headline in Business Insider from February of last year: "Silicon Valley parents are raising their kids tech-free--and it should be a red flag." Here's another from The Good Men Project a couple of months later: "Silicon Valley Parents Choose Low & No Tech Schools. What About Your Kid's School?" There are many apps sold or given away freely that help a user reduce his smartphone/internet usage -- apps, for example, that block your internet usage during work-hours, for example. Coincidentally enough, developers say the Apple app store is attempting to block you from buying apps that help you reduce your usage of Apple phones. They all tell a similar story: They ran apps that helped people limit the time they and their children spent on iPhones. Then Apple created its own screen-time tracker. And then Apple made staying in business very, very difficult. The makers of such apps complain that Apple's own offerings in this area don't seem to be particularly aggressive about helping people limit their screen-time. Almost as if Apple knows that addicts are among its most lucrative clients, and they want to keep the addicts addicted. But muh private business decisions. | Recent Comments
