My next button...is the one I need to repair my flannel shirt. I made sure all three of my milenial children had sewing boxes and could hand sew simple repairs. Can they choose to pay someone else, get a new shirt or ask Mom to do it because I am much faster, sure. But the point is they have that choice and more importantly no one is making assumptions for and about them and consequently taking their choices away in the process.Allowing tech to think and prioritize for me with a generic next button seems to me a recipe to become an automaton following the proscribed next thing. Maybe I'm just wary of being spoon fed, I like making my own choices like deciding to not be productive sometimes. For example, will this next button ever steer you to Hacker News so you can chase down some rabbit holes and attempt some existential commentary on buttons or will it be another way to keep you r nose to the proscribed grindstone with a sprinkling of sanctioned leisure? |
