- josephkern 13y agoWhich is probably true even on a more objective measurement of "enriching". Sturgeon's Law is always in effect.
- Tyrannosaurs 13y agoJust 80%? I think you're being very generous. 95%? 98%?
- epo 13y agoYou're being very generous, 99.9% is probably still too generous.
- NicoJuicy 13y agoMy standpoint on enriching lives was in case of producing. Every startup is producing on a non-tablet (pc or laptop), perhaps they make things for tablets, sure. My words were poorly chosen on the part of "enriching lives" through consuming, i agree. Take off the last 2 lines of my sentence and it would be more clear what i meant. A tablet is for consuming, not for producing. (taking pictures and putting a filter on it in 10 seconds is not producing, but consuming) Every startup is producing things. 0% of the startups are producing their app/webapp/... with a tablet. A tablet is created to consume, not to produce, that was the point i was trying to make :)
