This is very insightful. I wonder what else it applies to. I bet there are tons of media sectors writing to irrelevant but interested audiences.
> People who write these articles need to be thinking about the middle aged woman who still calls every video game system "a Nintendo". There will always be some users for technologies like web3, but until you can clearly demonstrate to that woman that this new technology has value and is easier to use than the status quo, you're never going to get mass adoption.
I don't get it. I thought this used to be common knowledge. I mean it's basically a TV trope, so why and how do industries "forget" this?
- majewsky 5y agoBeing easy to use is not usually thought of as a feature. Just look at the reaction of telephone hardware vendors to the original iPhone: There's nothing new about this, there have been tons of devices with touchscreens, we already know the customer does not want those, yada yada. They did not even consider the possibility that the selling point was not a list item on the spec sheet, but the user experience.
