What if I want another widget on my screen ? Do I put it there too ? Where do I stop ?
And in any case, it is still longer than just a) pulling a handle.
The whole point of the rant is that interfaces shouldn't be something we have to go through: they should be transparent. In the case he presented (Siemens'), there is no interface.
We have built a culture of "there's an app for that" where 99% of these apps are absolute, total crap. You don't need Tapatalk's app to browse forums, you don't need an app to turn on your lights, etc. An unbelievable amount of apps are actually slower at doing something than they were supposed to solve.
