Of course, these groups are called personas in software engineering circles. I was answering to people who believe diversity will somehow fix all problems of this world. And they do not talk about personas. They talk about minorities, victims and races.
Before Apple or any other customer company describes personas, there is an explicit or implicit decision of which personas to consider and which not. But most consumer targeted companies hide which personas they consider and which not.
- rixed 5y ago> They talk about minorities, victims and races. When I mentioned diversity, what I actually had in mind was that all tech workers in California have wifi, and probably find this so normal to connect your phone to wifi that they expect any normal user will do this on a daily basis. I'm not a grandma but I'm a tech worker with a very different life style. Like the person I was replying to's grandma, I have no wifi. Like her, I have to fake it from time to time so that my Android phone will backup photos, accept to download Google drive documents, etc. So the diversity I had in mind is rather a diversity in location and lifestyle.
- taylodl 5y agoThat's what I understood you to mean too. I just added in differently-abled people. I've never seen a persona based off minorities, "victims" (not sure what that means in this context?), or races. It's always been capabilities and life experiences.
