Graceful degredation sounds like the best case scenario, to be honest. Backup power for essentials when the grid goes out, applications that work offline, heating that keeps working without an Internet connection.
It seems obvious but I'm not sure we're heading in that direction.
- the_other 4y agoProgressive enhancement would be better. Then luddites like me could just turn off the bullshit. We tried PE on the web. It's a great idea and the browsers and languages support it eminently. But most developers (including product people, and engineers like myself) are obsessed with the glamorous option rather than the plain-but-plainly-better lower bandwidth version.
- afandian 4y agoI'm such a luddite. I will never have a smart thermostat, fridge, voice assitant in my home (until it's compulsory). I feel like progressive enhancement is my choice to make. What do I purchase, what can it do, etc. Whereas graceful degredation more is the product designers's choice. What does it do when it doesn't get Internet or electricity.
