Option one: I'm growing old and crazy.
Option two: all these features encourage people to rely on their phone to manage their notifications/conversations instead of keeping their distractions at a minimum - humanly manageable level.
- teekert 6y agoIt can be an extra line of defense. When I had a Pebble I liked that important things (to me) could get through to the watch, the rest was nicely waiting on the phone for when took the time.
- 1_player 6y agoAll those screenshots look so busy to me, like there's so much going on in these people's lives that they struggle to keep up. I want the distraction device that sits in my pocket to simplify my life, not expose and amplify all the small interruptions as if they _need_ to be taken care of RIGHT NOW or else. "you can pin conversations so they always appear on top of other apps and screens. Bubbles keep the conversation going—while you stay focused on whatever else you’re doing. Access the chat anytime or anywhere." — Yo dawg, I heard you like distractions... It's not a critique on Android 11 per se. Just a general aimless rant about the direction we're going with our technological lives.
- glenstein 6y agoYeah, I was wondering if I was going crazy. Even the very first screen was kinda giving me a headache. It was supposed to be exhibiting elegance and simplicity. But I know enough from a decade of using Android to see all kinds of segments of the interface that have their own special context behaviors and features, with new menu layers and questions and assumptions that I will need to train myself to figure out.
