After a certain age though (mid 40s) I fail to be excited at every new announcement, I guess I started to care about other things… The other day I downloaded an app that scans a lego pile and comes up ‘creations’ out of those parts. I decided to play with my 4 year old. A bad pattern fooled me into paying for it as I was in a rush and pressed the wront button, though no actual credit card is attached to my iOS identity. Regardless of dark patterns, I eventually went on with the free version which crashed a few times when I came to the realization that I don’t frigging need this, my kid and I don’t need to tie an app to our creative play, we could do much better without. Back in the day Id go along with this type of thing but Im less and less inclined to and instead lean on classical technology like pen and paper for note taking and so on. Im excited about technology about the technology on the horizon line but I try to live my life without tying too much into it unnecessarily.
