I think bringing neuroscience and mindfulness into the mix is the way to go.
How it'll supplant is simple: tack it on to human-centric design, get companies applying HCD already to adopt it, and they can show the addiction-addicted companies how to make money in a more sustainable way.
Sell it to the capitalists by showing people can live longer if their well-being is higher.
- dharma1 9y agoI don't see this taking off for companies whose bottom line is directly tied into advertising (Facebook, Google etc). Apple could lead here and build some tools directly into the OS that let people easily set some custom boundaries around addictive use.
- crawfordcomeaux 9y agoThat's fine. Others will develop it and the big ones will adopt it. Or not and they'll continue to be platforms for addicting others. Once one person succeeds in figuring out a service for marketing in a way people will welcome into their home (as opposed to begrudgingly being forced to allow them), others will follow. Ads suck, so I'm betting people can get behind a platform explicitly designed for experimenting with ad tech to find things that don't.
