More Gadgets, Less Fun
Written by Zealus on August 20, 2008 – 1:08 pm -As I have posted before, gadgets make great conversation pieces. However, therein lies the problem.
More often then not I catch people being deeply into their Blackberries (mostly), Sidekicks or other smarter-then-average phones. People reading something. People zealously typing away. People so drawn into their gadgets that they hardly notice anything around them.
On the express bus I am taking to work sometimes it takes two or three “Excuse me” to make a person move their feet away from the very narrow passage between rows of seats. And last night I missed my stop because I was reading something off my PDA.
By being drowned into small PDA screens (around 2 - 3 inches on the average), we develop a tunnel vision, ignoring anything that happens not directly in front of us. Usually this leads to a lot of non-efficient decisions, inability to think outside of that tube of attention. TV has similar effects on people’s attention span.
What I essentially want is a larger screen on my smart phone. Heck, I’d go for a screen of a flexible size.
