Some of you have been so Product Orientalized, you got to the point where mediocrity is the standard.
Own a NOOK? No? Tough to visualize what I am talking about. Read? No? I read a hundred plus books per year.
I can see why they make cell phones so thin. To fit into a pocket. So then they are exposed and fragile and need a twenty dollar cover to make them thick enough to grasp. Fatter? Bigger battery? Hohoho this is 2017 when everything is read right to left or down to up.
But a razor thin ebook? Slipperier 'n snot with no navigation buttons? Ever try flipping a page 11 times? Ooooooo that's right you don't own a Nook.
The concept reminds me of 1975 Detroit. Where the psychology was "Screwum They'll Eat It"
Because I design systems. Because I can not ignore my customer's comments because I am a slightly post war baby I grew up with different values.
And I am facing a world of chew and spit land fill grade profit makers. Resources depletion because idiots think slippery razor thin appliances with laughable battery capacity are the way to go.
That POS squirted out of my fingers three times this morning. Lucky for me I was in bed. Unlucky for me, the less than year old battery (the Nook) is dying and the battery is treated as good as LiPo batteries can be treated.
An hour ago a farmer with a 3rd grade education no front teeth approached me and asked. "Can you build me something that does not keep breaking?"
I told him "YES!"
And my complaints vex some of you.
Hooee
