What if WA had NBA stats? How about prices of similar cameras over time? Would the same stupid people want visualizations for that?
I wonder if that would that then turn it into a "non-solution to a problem"?
- scott_s 17y agoThe author's point is that the users know they want, say, NBA stats, or price comparisons, so they should be able to ask for those.
- iamwil 17y agoRight. That much I got. The part about "non-solution to a non-problem" refers how the author thought that not only is the interface a non-solution, but that having datasets and visualizations would be useless to lay people (a non-problem). I was asking the question whether it's really a non-problem. I figured that a nutritional label is a bad example, and that if WA had sports stats or product comparison data, the lay person might be very interesting, hence upgrading WA to a "non-solution to a problem"
- ori_b 17y agoI gathered that the "non-problem" that was being discussed was the need for natural language input, not the actual visualization.
